The white faced or little blue heron is supposed to be the most commonly seen heron in Australia.
But this was the first - 2008 - and last time I have ever seen one.
Perhaps young - the legs are not very yellow
- I found this character wandering alone at Sorrento on Port Phillip Bay.

We only have grey heron in Sweden. What a luck you have had to see a blue heron.
Nice image of the heron. It is odd that you are not finding them in view of their supposed abundance.
Hi Gemma!! Nice capture!! This is a variety of heron I've not yet seen or photographed.
Lovely shot.
Blue herons aren't seen here. So it's nice to see one :)
Have a nice day.

the nicest shots I´ve seen of one of them. Love the head. :)
Very nice shot - I got some images of this species from the other side of the bay last summer - I'll get them organised one day!
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW

What a pretty heron, great shot!
Looks so graceful in this photo.
Pretty!!! Around our area of the globe our little blue herons have a rich wine colored head. I would LOVE to see this species in real time.
