Hi Birders,
The first Little Terns in breeding plumage arrived
at Picnic Point, The Entrance, on Tuggerah lakes on Tuesday 3 October 2000. They
have bred here in the past but conditions are no longer suitable so hopefully
they will move to a safer breeding location.
The Banded Stilt found at Chittaway Bay, Tuggerah
Lakes on 2/10/00 was gone by the following morning.
The Central Coast's first Dollarbird was seen at
Saratoga on 30/9/00 and another was at Lees Reserve Chittaway on
3/10/00.
the Central Coast's first Pallid Cuckoo for the
season was at Woongarra near Charmhaven on 3/10/00 (we are a last resort for
Pallids!)
Finally a returning Red-necked Stint on 1/10/00 was
seen with an orange flag on its right leg at Picnic Point, The Entrance. On
about 25/9/00 two Red Knots with orange flags on their legs were seen at the
same place by Rob Quinan. The lat longs being 30 20 20 S, 151 29 34
