Notes:

First time seeing a juvenile!!! Initially my mum and I thought this was a Striated Heron (Butorides striata) but decided to get an expert onto it. When we were told it was a juvenile Nankeen Night Heron, both of us were like...oh yeah, saw an adult here about two weeks ago...cool! Identified by Warden at BBO.
