Around here in SE Melbourne, Hoary-headed Grebes usually appear
along the coast of Port Phillip Bay from about April and leave
around October. Last year some stayed longer as if they had
nowhere to go to breed (even though numbers at the nearby
Braeside Park wetland seemed normal in summer).

There was even one still in our harbour on 1/1/2000.  That was
the most recent record. Where have they gone ? 

(One compensation: there's been a brown Pink Robin at our George
St. Reserve for 8 weeks. From a few golf course records in past
years I had suspected they might winter here.)
