Hi Tun Pin,
      I last visited the bird hide on 21/9 and there was 3 Red-neck Avocets
with the Stilts.  Yes the Algae has been a problem.
Would also suggest visiting the Northern Water Feature opposite the
SuperDome and take a stroll along the Narawang Wetlands, Starting at the
cnr of Hill Rd and Bennelong Rd.
Happy Birding (weather permitted)

Kind Regards,

Simon Hayes

Good Day,

This is my first ever posting to this group.

I went to visit Mason Park and Bicentennial Park in
Sydney Olympic Park last Sunday.

At Mason Park, counted about 20 Sharp-tailed
Sandpipers, 2 Curlew Sandpiper and one Red-kneed
Dotteral.

At the other side, the Wetland lake was now full of
algae and there were very few water birds except for a
few Stilts. Is this still a 'functional' waterbirds
refuge? Even the Belverede Lake at the visitor center
supported more diversity of birds.

Mason Park is not a scenic pond but supports a good
range of bird life. Anybody knows any conservation
status/efforts for this small piece of hot spot?

I intend to revisit the areas again this weekend.
Appreciate for any recommendation on sites nearby not
mentioned above.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Regards,
Tun-Pin ONG
Sydney
