| Sat 31 |  | Striated Heron
Karbeethong Jetty Mallacoota |
| Reported to me by very reliable birder who prefers anonymity. Bird seen flying low and fast past the Jetty and swerved in to shore. Small heron with black head and brown wings flying low and hard past Karbeethong Jetty. Much small than Nankeen Night Heron and flight direct rather than lumbering.
Observer familiar from species in past when regular at Gipsy Point.
They said the bird might gone to The Narrows (or kept going to Gipsy Point). I walked a km past the Jetty scanning the shore where possible and couldn't relocate |
