To consider: egret breeding northern Victoria

A request for list members who visit northern Victoria or southern NSW
near the Murray River.

The recent flooding and rain in SE Australia are likely to have created
suitable conditions for breeding by egrets, night-herons and other
waterbirds.

If you see or encounter any egrets in BREEDING plumage then I am keen to
hear details
– date
– location
– species and numbers of birds

Egrets in breeding plumage can indicate a breeding colony nearby. As most
egret species are threatened in Victoria I am keen to document relevant
sightings etc.

Feel free to contact me directly

Thanks in advance.
