This small heron is solitary at most seasons and often somewhat secretive, living around small bodies of water or densely vegetated areas. The region's typically heavy rainfall during the wet season helps to counter some of the inevitable soiling of the PV panels. Heron Island is small enough to walk around in 20 minutes, yet it has everything you could wish for: a restaurant Shearwater Restaurant to satisfy healthy appetites, a deep resort swimming pool backing onto a bar Baillie's Bar and an abundance of wildlife that will truly amaze.
