Description:
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.
Habitat:
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.
