Yesterday night after I had left the hide apparently the heron returned to North Lagoon around 8pm where it presumably roosts.
This morning the first couple of birders on site managed to get the bird flying into South Lagoon at around 9am - giving some brilliant flight shots we hope to post later. Unfortunately at ten past it apparently 'walked into the reeds and disappeared' - sounding ominously similar to yesterday's activity pattern...
However it is still here - Reserve open til dusk, normal admission and please be courteous to others wishing to see it if you already have done so.
