Black-shouldered Kite, Little Grassbird
Fyshwick Sewage Treatment Plant
A Black-shouldered Kite (1) and Little Grassbird observed this morning. Also the number of Hardhead (7) is increasing and Black-fronted Dotterel (6) decreasing from last week as the water levels vary and mud flats are either exposed or flooded.

Rose Robin
Australian National Botanic Gardens
One male Rose Robin near Section 17 of the gardens. Tried to get a better picture but an Eastern Yellow Robin decided it was more photogenic and chased the Rose Robin off.
