A fact from New Zealand bittern appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 23 September 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Did you know... that the extinctNew Zealand Little Bittern(pictured) was described as always being found alone and standing for hours in one place?
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.

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)[reply]
Check the history if something is obviously impossible. It was vandalism, or a very confused reformatting.115.188.121.224 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 03:20, 19 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
