Several times over this winter a Cocoi Heron has been sighted at different estuaries around East Falklands, It was sighted again on Sunday at Burnside House which is near Goose Green settlement. Today I had the afternoon off work so decided to go and see if it was still around. When I got to Burnside it was fishing in the creek near the house.

Cocoi Heron is a rare vagrant to the Falklands with 1 or 2 records every couple of years.
