Wong Kais was exploring the Thunder Point Reserve, Warrnambool when he came face to face with this bird.
Video by Wong Kais. He observed a white-faced heron Egretta novaehollandiae catch a small lizard for lunch. The video shows the bird foraging amongst the grass, moving its neck in characteristic undulating motion. It then peered into some long grass, made a quick strike and pulled out a small lizard. The lizard was no match for the bird which devoured it in one gulp.
