Banded Stilt (9)
The Neck - Bruny Island
Low tide with strengthening wind. Searched the exposed Channel side followed by the beach.
Had searched unsuccessfully at Moorina beach where they were reported earlier in the week. Found them on The Neck beach just south of the lookout in front of the dunes. They were steadily moving north as they constantly fed at the waters edge.
