| Andy Yip :: White faced Heron (Ardea novarhollandieo) | |
|
The most common of Australia's herons, this bird is usually found around swamps, dams, lakes and irrigated crops. A varied diet includes fish, tadpoles, worms, frogs and snails. Like all herons, it has a special hinge in the neck which allows a rapid strike when hunting. The nest is a loose platform of sticks built high in a tree and 3-5 eggs are laid. |
