	Eastern Reef Egret - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Eastern Reef Egret, Egretta sacra, is a type of egret (a subclass of herons).
		Eastern Reef Egrets are a medium-sized egret, reaching 57 to 66 centimeters in length.
		Eastern Reef Egrets have very short, yellow legs, and the grey variety's throats and chins are marked by a narrow, white stripe.

	Egret - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An egret is any of several herons, most of which are white or buff, and several of which develop fine plumes during the breeding season.
		Several of the egrets have been moved around from one genus to another in recent years: the Great Egret, for example, was traditionally classified as either a member of Casmoderius, Egretta or Ardea.
		In the 19th and early part of the 20th century, some of the world's egret species were endangered by relentless hunting, since hat makers in Europe and the United States demanded massive numbers of egret plumes and breeding birds were killed in locations all around the world.

		We didn't find any Asian Dowitchers but managed 23 species of shorebird, including our first Grey (Black-bellied) Plover and Common Redshank in Oz (the first time I've really got excited about seeing the latter since I was knee-high to a grasshopper!) and all the target mangrove species.
		New birds were Eastern Reef Egret, Red winged Parrot, Dusky Gerygone, Singing and Rufous-throated Honeyeaters, White-breasted Whistler, Broad-billed Flycatcher, Mangrove Grey Fantail and Yellow White-eye.
		Striated Herons seemed to be everywhere and an Australian Hobby obligingly landed on the beach.

	Lady Elliot Island 2003
		During November we hosted a couple of visiting birders from Wollongong who had just spent a few days on Lady Elliot Island, at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef.
		The Island has a resort and is accessible by air from Coolangatta, Brisbane, Hervey Bay or Bundaberg, we chose to drive to Hervey Bay and take a flight and stop for one night only as the price was rather expensive for an extended stay.
		Sadly during our short trip we didn't have time for much other activity like snorkelling or diving but will certainly consider allowing extra time on future excursions as the reef looked incredibly exciting and beautiful.

	Postcards from Australia III
		Until continental drift was discovered and the history of the continents was worked out, the northern Australian rainforests were assumed just to be spillover from Asia or to have been derived from the dry forests of Australia, but in fact neither is the case; they have a completely separate history.
		(The adjacent Great Barrier Reef was already listed, but the state government fought hard to prevent the listing of the rainforests.) Eventually, the state government's policy of allowing logging in the area was ended by the election of a new state government.
		I was drained, but we were barely out of the boat when the indefatigable Diana was pointing out an Eastern Reef Egret (grey morph) down the beach.
