I didn’t know what kind of bird it was so I said egret, idea being that it is not the typical bird we see there - not a seagull, duck or goose. I have never seen any bird (water fowl) like it. After researching I think it is a double crested Cormament and there is a picture and video of the Whihala bird posted on the Visit Whiting fb page. It was last seen waddling itself down to the West End.

please close this incident
