Birdline Western Australia Published sightings for the week ending 23 Nov 2014. Sat 22 Nov black-fronted dotterel (3); red-kneed dotterel (1); red-necked avocet (5); pink-eared duck (c20) Lake Claremont also 1 nankeen heron; mid-day Robert Hay Star Finch Floodway billabong just out of Paraburdoo A healthy population of around 60-70 birds sighted today around/among reeds in what water is left on the mostly dried out floodway, quite near the mine. Quite a surprise to see, this far inland, and in such dry place. Couldn’t get a very good shot. [Moderators note (NJ): Star Finch are widespread throughout the Pilbara, although are generally restricted to dense Typha or Cyperus, near water.] S. Plunkett Fri 21 Nov Elegant Parrot Ellis Brook Valley Reserve Single male near the brook on the left side of the road. Ken Glasson
