Pied Heron Ardea picata September 13th, 2019 Anbangbang Billabong, Kakadu National Park, Northern Territory, Australia Canon EOS 1D X Mark II Canon EF 600mm f4L IS II USM lens Canon EF 1.4x III Extender One of the most spectacular sights of Kakadu National Park is the stunning Anbangbang Billabong. This large billabong is home to hundreds of waterbirds & apparently a few Crocodiles as well! I was keen to have an opportunity with these Pied Herons as they have such wonderful coloured plumage. A very regal looking bird.
