Love the marshes! Australia is commonly portrayed as being very dry. I thought I had heard of all the heron species, but I was wrong. What a gorgeous bird! It's obvious where it gets its name!
Just beautiful Carole! The old trees are quite impressive. The heron is one I've not heard of either. It is certainly unique in its coloring. Gorgeous shot of the graceful Egret against the sky!
Wonderful photos, Carole! I feel like I'm right there with you enjoying the marvels of nature! That last photo of the flying egret is so beautiful. Amazing that creatures are able to fly in the air! Love seeing the form of his body in flight! Thanks so much for sharing your world with us!
Great shots of a nice place to capture birds and shapely trees. I have never heard of that heron either. The egret in flight against the blue sky is super.
thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
wow, great views. i really love the last shot. in flight. such a beautiful bird. i wish i could fly like that. too fun! (:
ReplyDeletewhat a unique find - the white-necked heron. have never heard of this one before. :)
ReplyDeleteI have not seen, nor heard of a white necked heron...so those two photos were a special treat.

ReplyDeleteGreat post, and I had never heard of a White-necked Heron either. He's fabulous, and you managed some great shots of him!!!
ReplyDeleteSo hard to get a good shot of birds in flight - well done!!

ReplyDeleteThat marshland looks like a great place to explore for birds and animals Carole, as long as there aren't crocs. Lovely heron shots you took.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures Carole, the (white neck) Heron is not here.
ReplyDeleteI think the really great egret flying.
Hi,
ReplyDeleteYour photos are always a great opportunity for us to travel ;-)

ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, Carole!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! I'm so surprised by how many sorts of herons there are in our world!
ReplyDeleteI saw an egret for the first time in my life last week! It was so beautiful, like your photo of it!
