Yellow Bittern
Direction Island, Cocos-Keeling Islands
On 25 August on Direction Island in the Cocos (Keeling) Islands a photo-trap set by Russell Palmer to detect rodents at night captured an image of a Yellow Bittern! Is this an early migrant or is one perhaps living on the atoll? Further to apparently conflicting reports of both Eurasian and Grey Teal from West Island, Cocos, in August, Pam Jones has now proved that both species are present there. She has photos to prove it!

A single immature Brown Booby was recorded by the Orange-bellied Parrot Mainland Recovery Team. Keep your eyes open, as the bird may move around Port Phillip Bay.
