A small white heron or sometimes called gaulin which spends most of its time around cattle and livestock instead of water wading as most herons do. They feed on the insects and grubs disturbed by the grazing animals. Green Backed Herons
It is known locally as a gaulin and is thought to be one of the most intelligent of animals – it's been seen using bait to catch fish! Hummingbirds, the Gray Kingbird and the ubiquitous black bird are also regularly seen around the gully. You would see many of these birds where there are tractors and backhoes, they wait patiently when the soil is dug up to eat the small insects that surfaces out of the dirt.
