Observation details
Low tide, feeding, about 200 metres from shore. All-white heron, slightly smaller than a white faced heron in same area; long slender black bill; yellow between bill and eye; black legs and feet (soles not seen); 2 nape plumes; solitary, no others seen in the vicinity; not very active while I watched it feeding, fairly sedate; photos checked against the description in The Field Guide to the Birds of New Zealand 2005 edition. Not a white heron, too small and with a black bill, and not a Cattle Egret, has a black bill.
