 Hi everyone, all the best for Christmas and the New
Year at  
Good birds indeed Simon Wandering Tattler and Beach
Stone Curlew are rare birds in Sydney.  
In regards to ID W/Tattlers the wing projection
past the tail is not reliable. I still believe you need to hear the call or
see the nasal groove to be 100%, but you need to be within 20/30
metres with a scope in good light to see the groove. 
There were 20+ White-throated Needletails over
Cattia yesterday, M T.
