Egretta novaehollandiae
The White-faced Heron, a relatively small heron of the family Ardeidae, is a common bird throughout most of Australasia, including New Guinea, the islands of Torres Strait, Indonesia, New Zealand, the islands of the Sub-antarctic, and all but the driest areas of Australia.
Locally nomadic, this heron was spotted near the marina at Berowra Waters, on the Northern outskirts of Sydney.
Notice the dead eel in photo #6. Obviously the victim of fishing. It was about 60 cms long.

Thanks, KD. This one decided to cooperate and let me get reasonably close. Lovely birds.
Very, very nice! Great detail.
