Talk:New Zealand bittern

The only endemic heron?
Hello, can someone clarify if there is another heron species endemic to New Zealand (counting any endemic subspecies)? I know the New Zealand population of Australasian Bittern (Botaurus poiciloptilus) was considered a subspecies for some years because of their plumage characteristics differing with the populations from another locations (for example Australia) but this classification became invalid recently, so (as I said) I want to know if any New Zealand endemic heron species still being around. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.170.245.56 (talk) 03:49, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Incorrect date in taxonomy
Date listed in taxonomy as 1812. This seems incorrect as the remains were not discovered until end of the 20th century. Freakboynz (talk) 07:26, 2 December 2018 (UTC)
