But where are the Night-Herons? There is just a lot of photos of White-faced Herons...

Gee guys! Didn't you know? There is a rare mutation of the Nankeen Night Heron in Canberra, its called the White Faced Night Heron... Its being considered for elevation to species status, but is in danger from bird photographers who roam around the place taking indecently good photos of the local raptors. Shame on you all for correcting Shorty!

Nice photos, they're hard things to get close to. I like the fourth one, its interesting and you don't usually see them from behind (because they're watching you!).
