Hi all, Went for a walk along the shores of Chittaway Bay this morning and saw about 50 species in total. Interesting birds included 8 Marsh Sandpipers, 40 odd Sharp-Tailed Sandpiper, about 75 Bar-Tailed Gobwit, 10 Caspian Terns, and large numbers of Great Egret and amoung the bush birds was Figbird, Dollarbird, Yellow-Rumped Thornbill, Grey Butcherbird plus the usual species in this area.
 
However the most interesting bird which I thought was rather unusual was a single Striped Honeyeater which I hadn't seen in this area before. Anyone else seen this species around Chittaway Bay / The Entrance?
 
Cheers
Simon.
