Wondering if this bird is a juvenile Black Bittern. Taken Darwin 26-03-16.
Whoa! Nice find Rick. I agree with Immature Black Bittern. I thought I had one on the week-end but mine turned out to be a juvenile Nankeen Night Heron.
Samford Valley Qld.
that first pic is very good - that would be a tick for me

Sorry to say, it's not a Bittern, it's a young Striated Heron.
I agree with Steve, it looks more like a juvenile Striated Heron.
Thanks all, Striated Heron for me.
