Baird’s Sandpiper near Mandurah and Crested (Oriental) Honey-Buzzards back at Lake Joondalup

Hi all,

For those not on Facebook, the Baird’s Sandpiper seen a month ago was relocated by Dan Mantle, Plaxy Barratt and Robyn Pickering at South Yunderup on Peel Inlet today (c. 1hr south of Perth). Access is via Wellya Crescent or the end of Beacham Rd, both require a 2km walk or so to where it was sighted today (2km south from Wellya Crescent). It was lost late-morning, but then relocated in the late afternoon by Jenny Knox (and others?) at Lake McLarty around the remaining water there.

Clive Nealon also saw the Crested [Oriental] Honey Buzzards at Lake Joondalup today

Cheers,

John
