Highly unpopular around the bird traps, this heron was flushed from any pond vantage point by miners, magpies, rosellas and galahs. They really didn't want it hanging around. I think this bird is a juvenile. In the past herons have passed through the pond with much less cacaphony.
That's interesting behaviour isn't it? I haven't seen anything like that. I wonder why they didn't like this young fellow? Perhaps they eat young birds sometimes?
ReplyDeleteHi Louise, I think it was more likely about territory.
