The birds scientific name is Ardea intermedia. A common name is Plumed Egret. These birds are found in the northern parts of WA ie Kimberleys, across the top end of the Northern Territory, throughout most of Queensland and down into the central and northern parts of NSW. They are occasionally found south into Victorian and Tasmania.
Intermediate valve v. Animal 26mm long. Dorset, England. April 2017.
From above, the tegmentum of intermediate valves, such as this one, is approximately broadly triangular with rounded lateral angles (1), a flattened anterior angle known as the jugal sinus (2) , and a protruding posterior beak (3) . The circular granules have flat tops, often with a raised rim (4).
The articulamentum is thinner, but much more extensive, than the tegmentum, extending into very large lateral insertion plates (5) that, when live, are embedded in the wide girdle. Valves ii to viii have a single notch (6) on each side, and their insertion plates merge anteriorly with large apophyses (7) that are embedded in tissue under the adjacent valve when live. There are faint radial ridges (8) on the apophyses (only visible in certain lights).

Here you can see the cheapy Target.com shelves, but I was still in front of the window. It was surprising how much this darkened the room.

morning light on a little river of median iris now in flower with a wave of Tall Bearded iris in bud.
This species, as its scientific name implies, is intermediate in size between the Great Egret and smaller white egrets like the Little Egret and Cattle Egret, though nearer to Little than Great. It is about 90 cm tall with all-white plumage, generally dark legs and a thickish yellow bill.
The Intermediate Egret stalks its prey methodically in shallow coastal or fresh water, including flooded fields. It eats fish, frogs, crustaceans and insects.
