Sun 21 Apr	Short-tailed Shearwater Grange Beach, Adelaide Approximately 200 birds passed northwards in 5 minutes around 100m offshore, dipping and rising into the wind. Kelvin Sparks
Mon 15 Apr	Banded Stilt Laratinga Wetlands Mt Barker One adult with a bold red-brown breast- band. It was foraging in the shallows of the main pond directly opposite to the ablution block. This sighting represents a new addition on my personal species list for this locality. Edward Smith
Sun 14 Apr	Inland Dotterel, Orange Chat Muloorina Station Recent rain on the southern part of the track in to Lake Eyre NP through Muloorina Station has attracted numerous bird species incuding Inland Dotterels and Orange Chats. Dotterels were seen in small groups (up to 20) adjacent to the track between 7 and 20km (approx.) north of Maree. Please note that while this is a public access track, the birds are on private land. Pete and Lisa Nunn
	Western Grasswrens Whyalla Conservation Park Did two slow laps around the base of Wild Dog Hill betwen 7.30 and 10am on Sunday morning - got onto several groups of Western Grasswrens in the shrubby vegetation on the flats. Generally very secretive but occasionally one would pop out in the open on the top of a bush briefly allowing viewing and photographic opportunities as per attached. Martin Stokes
Sat 13 Apr	Red-lored Whistler Gluepot Reserve This bird was very quiet so it took a bit of work to locate before excellent views. Kay Parkin & Dan Mantle
	Fork-tailed Swift Gluepot Reserve 4 Swifts observed soaring for about a minute before disappearing as quickly as they arrived! Kay Parkin & Dan Mantle
