User's notes
I don't know whether there's much hope of an an ID from these phone photos. The bird was shaped like a night heron or bittern. It was heing chased back and forth by a very noisy mob of cockatoos. In the last 2 photos the cockatoos can be seen in a group - the heron was about the same size.
