Never having been to Mudgee I thought I would take the opportunity to head up from Canberra and see if I could find the Citrine Wagtail on Monday and Tuesday this week. Has anyone seen the bird in the last couple of days and if so where? I have seen the species in Sweden, where it seems to be as rare as it is in Australia, and in India so won’t be devastated if I miss it. Still, it would be nice to get it on my Australian list. Many thanks, Mark

The bird was seen this morning from about 10.45. As everyone else has noted it just pottered about quietly. Today it was on rocks at the edge of the water. We watched it until nearly 12. Take the track towards the quarry truck and we saw it from a small lookout with a seat before the quarry truck and hide. Best of luck.

Hi Mark I saw the Citrine Wagtail today at 2:45pm. At the hide I met Brian and Judy Willey (who had driven down from the Sunshine Coast) – they arrived about an hour after I did at 12:45pm. It was blowing a gale in the wooden hide so we went outside and looked across towards the mud flat. I saw the wagtail at 2:25pm beside the big dead tree – it then worked around to the mudflat at 2:45pm. Great views had by Brian and myself until 3:15pm until it disappeared back the way it had come to the right of the wooden hide. A celebratory glass of red enjoyed by all. Judy
