HI Darryl
There is a group of 9 or 10 Black-tailed Godwit on Walsh's lagoon No. 7 at the
Western Treatment Plant. They are very easy to see once you are there (with a
permit or accompanied by a permit holder). The easiest way to arrange this is
to go to Melbourne Water's office in Brooklyn (89 Miller's Rd, next door to
TNT) and get a permit on the spot. It will cost you $20, and you'll need to
leave a $50 refundable deposit for a gate key. They give you a map for free.
For the diversity of species and the quality of the birding, this is extremely
inexpensive, IMHO. Permits last 2 years.
Incidentally, this is the lagoon where the Red-necked Phalarope has most
frequently been seen over the last couple of weeks.
There have also been some Bar-tailed Godwit around the WTP - I think they are
more often seen near the mouth of the Little River.
