Kotuku (White Heron)
White Heron (Kotuku, Egretta alba modesta), seen yesterday at Wattle Farm Reserve, Wattle Downs, Auckland. This was the first time I have seen one of these not very common birds at Wattle Downs, although I had heard of sightings there in the past.

A very distinctive looking bird. We do have the blue herons here, which I like watching when they’re fishing.
