Hi Mike, How do wagtails end up in Australia? Do they migrate with waders or by themselves? If they migrate with waders, and they overwinter, does this mean they have been here all summer/autumn? Cheers, Peter

Apart from in northern Australia, White Wagtails are commoner in autumn/winter than in summer. Previous Victorian reports include one in autumn, May (unconfirmed). The Portland bird did overwinter as it was present from 7 June to 23 August 1992, and the Anglesea bird was in September, (spring) 1992. See Carter et al. (1995) ABW 16, 21-23. Where have Yellow Wagtails occurred in winter or/& overwintered? Remember that a brief sighting in winter does not constitute 'overwintering'.
