...just zis guy, you know?
Hi Robert,
Balinese Bitterns, these I know from nothing!
But the third photo looks like the very familiar Black-crowned Night-heron. By the white tips on some of the wing coverts, and the breast streaking, it would be what I would call an "intermediate" bird, i.e. not in its hatch year, but not fully "adult" either.

Yep posted with weak internet and I was a little frustrated. I also thought Black-crowned Night Heron. Also had the 'r' but it must have autocorrected. Thanks to all who replied, I appreciated. And Foxy, did you find any good spots for birding in Bali, looking for somewhere for the next week...maybe one of the islands??

I didn't get to the islands as it was a more of a general holiday with a bit of birding thrown in. I did some birding around Ubud but nearly everything I found there I subsequently got around Nusa Dua. The waders around Nusa Dua and Serangan Island are tremendous and included various plovers: Little and Greater Sand, Javan, Mongolian. Grey-tailed Tatler, Far Eastern Curlew, Asian Dowitcher etc. 4 Kingfisher species around Nusa Dua and most of the Plovers etc in an easy walk from the hotels (I'll add detailed directions if you are interested and also a taxi driver who will take you to the right places on Serangan Island. There is also the Nusa Dua sewage works which is not as unpleasant as it sounds. we ran out of time to get there but it does sound like a good place

Thanks Foxy, that would have been perfect. I tried to go down there but the taxi driver I had got lost and had no idea where he was so I got to all the wrong places. Probably as you were typing this I was booking the rest of my time on Lombok and Nusa Perina.....just so I had a plan. However if things don't work out I will let you know or if I check travel arrangements and have time on my last day before flying out then it could be perfect email: [email protected] I did go to the National Park up in the NW...it was good birding. Many thanks
