As with lots of other locations around Australia,
Black-tailed Native Hens are appearing in their hundreds in a number of
different locations around Kangaroo Island. Murray's Lagoon, Duck Lagoon
and also salt lagoons near Emu Bay where I would not normally expect to see
them.
Also on a salt lagoon near Emu Bay on Tuesday there
were at least 2000 Banded Stilts, hundreds massed within about 30 metres of
where we were standing hidden by a bank of earth, also a few Avocets with
them.
Just to make all you people on the North
Island jealous yesterday morning I had two Glossy-black Cockatoos feeding
on a casuarina tree overhanging my office.
