Satin Bower Birds are found in the Royal National Park and I have heard them in the same street that you mentioned, while caring for my grandchildren.

With that, the Long-billed Dowitcher and an Oriental Plover, some might be interested in making the trip. I don’t have any details, it was mentioned on the Victorian Birders Facebook group today. Does anyone have any more details?

The well documented Long-billed Dowithcher will always put this place on the map but in the last two days, we can also add Oriental Plover and Red-necked Phalarope to the list! I was fortunate to photograph the Red-necked phalarope today at the lake after one of my companions, Bob Hughes, located it in the scope this afternoon. My report has been published on Birdline Victoria with precise details and a photo. As I cannot publish photos on this service, if anyone would like me to send them photos, please email me at: b.okeefe@cccc.vic.edu.aub.okeefe@cccc.vic.edu.au> Regards Bernie OKeefe Bernard O’Keefe Applied Learning Coordinator [cid:imagee8504d.JPG@7b7c2c07.408b5165] Caroline Chisholm Catholic College 204 Churchill Avenue, Braybrook. 3019 T: 03 9296 5311 | F: 03 9296 5381 E: b.okeefe@cccc.vic.edu.aub.okeefe@cccc.vic.edu.au> [cid:image5d0a88.PNG@cab1ffbb.45a24db4] [cid:imagea1169c.PNG@901cfa94.468c85bb] [cid:image37a25b.PNG@f6a2da0a.4aa84fd1] [cid:imagedcdb5a.PNG@200a2819.49bb1936] [cid:image39ac1f.PNG@2e3e7049.48aa7bf1] [cid:imagee8504d.JPG@7b7c2c07.408b5165] [cid:image337ecb.JPG@d65d8049.41851bdf] ————————————————————– This Email and any attachments may be confidential and, if you are not the intended recipient, you must not disclose or use the information in this mail.
