White-faced Heron is a common species found throughout most of the Australasian region in a variety of freshwater and coastal wetland habitats.
It is a fairly recent colonist of New Zealand with the first breeding records only occurring in 1941. It spread rapidly, however, and is now the commonest heron in the country.
