Hi All

I spent a couple of hours at the WTP (Werribee, Vic) on Sunday. In
general terms it was fairly quiet, except for the Conservation Ponds,
which was teeming with waders. Some of the birds seen at the Ponds
included Sharp-tailed Sandpiper (300+), Red-neck Stint (50+), Curlew
Sandpiper (10+), Black-tailed Godwit (1), Glossy Ibis (2), Red-kneed
Dotterel (4) and Black-winged Stilt (30) and Whiskered Tern have
returned in good numbers.

There was also an active pair of Black-shouldered Kite, with 3
delightful orange colored young kite sitting and watching in a nearby
dead tree.

Cheers,

Tim
