It’s a Striated Heron on the bike path under the Riverside Expressway (Brisbane CBD).
The birds you come across when you are heading home from work …
I continue to be fascinated by the way that Australian wildlife is adapting to the urban environment …

One response to “Is it a pigeon? is it a crow? no”
Hi Laurie, I used to see Striated Herons, possibly the same bird each time, at least once a week while riding along the expressway bike path from toowong to Roma street. Often near the floating restaurant and mangroves nearby.
Yours in all things “green”
