Australasian Bittern

Australasian Bittern - Botaurus poiciloptilus


Sightings:

Western Treatment Plant, Werribee:  2015:  July.


Notes:

Only seen around Melbourne in the winter it seems.  They are camouflaged incredibly in dry vegetation as can be seen above, and only noticed when they move!




Even then it can still be difficult!
