Red-throated Pipit at Broome joined by Green-headed Wagtail

["Mike Carter" <>]

George Swann advises that the Broome Red-throated Pipit Anthus cervinus was 
today joined by a Green-headed Wagtail Motacilla taivana. The latter is one 
of the Yellow Wagtail splits adopted by the new Christidis & Boles 
Australian Checklist. This bird is surrounded by Eastern Yellow Wagtails M. 
tschutschensis, the common form in Australia, so good comparisons are 
available. It also has been photographed.
Apparently the pipit 'comes and goes'.
