Hi,
Alan Collins and John Graff very kindly provided specific information about the bird, its location and images. We’ve put these up on Bird-O Online at http://birdo.wildiaries.com/trips/10261.
Happy birding!

You will see > the lakes on your left but you can’t turn left until about 1km at > Sticks Boulevard. Then turn left at Abbotswood Parkway and continue > until the end where you will see the lake. > > This morning the bird was first located on the island to the right (I > walked left about 90% of the way around before I found it of > course!!). It then flew into that corner of the lake. Then it flew > away to the south. We walked over to a smaller lake with typha and > relocated it in the back corner behind the typha reeds. > > It is quite nervous. It doesn’t hang around with the other birds. > When black ducks swam close, it moved away. > > > _________________________________________________________________ > Frank O’Connor Birding WA http://birdingwa.iinet.net.au > Phone : (08) 9386 5694 Email : foconnor@iinet.net.au > > =============================== > > To unsubscribe from this mailing list, > send the message: > unsubscribe > (in the body of the message, with no Subject line) > to: birding-aus-request@vicnet.net.au > > http://birding-aus.org > ===============================
