Hi Hema! Liana’s right. It’s the same species you spotted nearby: https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/11...Nice find. :)
Hey Hema, I'm pretty sure you have an Eastern Reef Egret (Egretta sacra) here. This particular species has two colour forms of which you have in your spotting! Check out this link and see what you reckon: http://www.birdlife.org.au/bird-profile/...
