I saw a bird along the storm water canal, where there is a greenway corridor, and i am pretty much aware of all the birds that are there and this one seemed new to me. I didn't get a good look sadly, but it had a noticeably long beak, and was mostly brown, at least on the back and wings. I first thought it was just a common myna bird, but it was larger than this and that's what made me take a second look.
Any ideas? It could be a white faced heron i suppose, the light was poor, which i have seen there before, but it seemed smaller than that.
Thank you
Oh, this is Inner Sydney area.
Nankeen Night-heron? After basically no records for close to a year we had many turn up all over Canberra over the past 2 months. Almost all juveniles.
