Hudsonian Godwit at the Western Treatment Plant

[Paul Hackett <>]

Hi All,

I visited the Western Treatment Plant at Werribee, Victoria today and 
had great views of the Hudsonian Godwit at Walsh's Lagoon. The bird was 
present at Walsh's for most of the day, preening, feeding and 
occasionally flying around. Many visitors were able to see this 
wonderful bird. I managed to get a few photos from quite some distance 
away. The bird appears to be associating with Black-tailed Godwits and 
Bar-tailed Godwits.
Also saw Spotted Sandpiper on the pond between Lake Borrie and the coast.

If you are interested some photos can be seen at

If you would like to try to spot the bird in a mixed flock in flight
