Everything is so much tamer here. This great egret was walking along on the edge of one of the Noosa canals with lots of people around. I sat and watched it and it came within 3m of me and just walked past. Why aren't they like this in the UK? Like osprey and cattle egret, great egret is called eastern great egret in my book, but I think that there is less of a case for this being a separate species.
Imagine this scene in the UK! Three terns dwarfing the cormorants! Like great egret, this is another cosmopolitan species, seemingly occurring everywhere, Caspian terns, with little black cormorants.
