To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In appearance it resembled its European namesake ; but I fancy it was rather larger and hand- somer. It is, I believe, common in Van Diemen's Land ; at least, we used to call it the Van Diemen's Land heron. "We never shot any of these birds for the market, buts we always ate them ourselves, and, to my fancy, they were fully equal to any of the so-called game-birds. "We had two species of White Heron, or, as they were called by the shooters, the White Crane, the one much resembling the great whi...te heron of Britain in size and appearance, with a black beak, and another variety, which was much smaller. I think the large white heron was the commonest with us. Now and then an odd one came on to the large swamps in the winter ; but their princi- pal resort was "Western-port Bay, and I have seen a& many as a dozen feeding together at the mud flats there at low water. It is a shy, wary bird. They breed on the large rocks out at the Heads, and seemed to come- down to our district in the autumn.
