By Birding-Aus, on October 27th, 2020 I have the dickens of a job IDing these birds. I suspect this is the great egret: head, neck and eye structure surrounds. Sydney Olumpic Park last week.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I feature a few birds with some video. This is my first attempt at a ‘nature documentary’ and I’m still acquiring some gear that . . . → Read More: short video on some Canadian birds
By Birding-Aus, on October 24th, 2020 What I sent last night appears to have not gone through yet.
