Hi Folks, We have been told about three reliable sightings, over a period of three years, of Great-billed Heron at Malanda on the Atherton Tableland at an altitude of 700m. We can’t find any records of this species at altitude. Has anyone else seen or knows of records at this altitude?

Keith & Lindsay, I was told of a Great-billed Heron on Spring Creek below my house here in Yungaburra in late August or early September 2008. I dismissed it as it was said that the bird was out in the open wetland. On the 16/09/08 I was out in the adjoining road reserve inspecting my trees when I heard a guttural call. A Great-billed Heron was flying up the hill from near the junction of Spring and Petersen Creeks near the Platypus Viewing Platform. It flew over Nick’s Restaurant before heading back down the creek down stream of the road bridge. I went looking for it but could not find it.

G’day Keith Lindsay et al. I have checked the PNGBS Newsletters and do not find any records of the Great-billed Heron (Giant Heron) away from the coastal lowlands and islands. ie there are no records of them in the hills or highlands.
