You and me both Trudi .. I too definatly know it’s a … bird LOL :D xx

Hello dear dougles I have it on very good authority is is a striated Heron …

There are many species of Night Herons in the world, but the only one in Oz is the Nankeen Night Heron, sometimes called the Rufous Night Heron. This bird is a very rich cinnamon-rufous colour with a dull green patch in front of its eyes.
The Striated Heron is a generally grey colour with yellow lores (the bit between the eye and the bill) and yellow lower bill. It only has orange legs during breeding season

So now we all learn something .. I knew it was a bird anyway ~ embarrassed GULP ~ European Herons differ to Aussie ones :D Oh and by the way mine dosent have orange legs so not the breeding season LOL!

Thanks for your input dear dougles xx
