Details
Observed at first in the south east part of the lake feeding along the muddy margins. Nearby were two Little Egrets but it did not associate with them. Later it flew away to the north east part of the lake and I could observe it more closely. Its yellow bill and thick greenish/yellow legs were distinctive. Its feeding behaviour was unhurried and not frenetic like the two other Little Egrets. Three photos attached. My initial conclusion was that this is the white morph of an Eastern Reef Egret. However feedback from WA Birds Facebook has revealed it may be a Plumed Egret or a juvenile Little Egret. When a photo was applied to Merlin ID this app identified it as a Eastern Reef Egret.
