Ardea cinerea (VAG):occurs in most of the Palearctic region (Grantsau, 2010). Records in Fernando de Noronha/ PE show its presence in small numbers for almost six years during the first decade of 2000 (Silva-e-Silva & Olmos, 2006) and it was also recorded for PA (Sick, 1997), but it still is considered vagrant in Brazil (Martínez-Vilalta & Motis, 1992). There is also one photographic record for Fernando de Noronha in September 2013 (WikiAves, 2016).
