*** GREY HERON Ardea cinerea View in CoL

Status Vagrant. The first documented record for New Guinea (see Beehler & Pratt 2016, Mayr 1941) and only the second in Australasia ( Lane 2002). In the afternoon of 26 June 2019 an adult in non-breeding plumage was photographed at the tsunami swamp (P. Chaon, eBird checklist S 59271786; Fig. 7 View Figure 7 ). The nearest documented records are from Sumba (Coates & Bishop 1997) and Flores ( van Balen & Irawan 2014 ) in the western Lesser Sundas of Indonesia.
