I was recently fortunate enough to observe a White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae) down at the local wetland. It was a beautiful sight! This large heron is easy to spot with its stark white face and overall grey plumage. I was able to get quite close, and even managed to snap a few shots of it in flight. If you’re lucky enough to see one of these birds yourself, be sure to take some time to appreciate its beauty!
