We checked out the Woody Head, Back Beach and Shark Bay rock platforms this
afternoon but did not locate the 'Black Tern'.
There were 8 Sooty Oystercatchers (including 2 juveniles) and 3 Pied
Oystercatchers (an adult male had a band on his right leg), 12+ Little Terns (1
breeding plumage, 2 with bands on right leg), 1 Lesser Sand Plover, 2
Red-necked Stints and a Striated Heron at Back Beach.
Woody Head was relatively quiet with only one Common Tern among the Silver
Gulls and Crested Terns.
One Double-banded Plover, 3 Lesser Sand Plovers and 14+ Red-necked Stints were
at Shark Bay.
A Brahminy Kite, 2 adult White-bellied Sea-Eagles honking loudly and a
Whistling Kite added to the variety.
To add a little excitement to the afternoon we drove home through a severe
thunderstorm. The light show was magnificent.
