Hi all,
The Wandering Tattler was found and photographed at Long Reef this morning. Many thanks to Mark for notifying us about the beast – don’t worry about the whingers – they’re omnipresent in every scene or subculture. That’s my third sighting of a Wandering Tattler and the first one that has let me take photos. I found the best approach was to wait behind the rocks and the bird got pushed towards me by rising tide and waves – it continued to happily feed and preen, periodically checking me out. I’ve put a couple of photos up on my flickr here http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrtroy/
Other birds seen – lots of Stints, a handful of PGPs, a few Grey-tailed Tattlers, one Double-banded Plover seen very briefly and nothing else that was unusual for a rockshelf around Sydney in mid-February.
