The White-faced Heron (Egretta novaehollandiae) is a slender, medium-sized heron with a distinctive white face and throat, contrasting its blue-grey plumage. Found throughout Australia, New Zealand, and nearby islands, it inhabits wetlands, estuaries, and grasslands. Agile and adaptable, it hunts fish, frogs, and insects with sharp strikes of its long yellow bill. Often solitary, it may gather in loose groups during breeding season, building stick nests in trees. Its graceful flight, with slow wingbeats and neck retracted, makes it a striking sight. A common yet elegant bird, it thrives in both natural and urban waterways.
