Freckled Duck, Red-necked Avocet
Amata Waste Water Treatment Plant
Quick visit to photograph Freckled Duck but storm hit within 5 minutes of being on site and sent us packing. Terrible photo due to weather and wild wind.
Freckled Duck (1) Single bird present in deep evaporation pond. No hint of colour to base of bill.
Red-necked Avocet (1) First record for this site. Landed as a friend and I approached to photograph Freckled Duck - great timing!

Little Crow
Port Lincoln township
I thought I heard a Little Crow in the afternoon of 12th Nov., I was actually pretty confident of it! On the 13th in the southern part of greater Port Lincoln I heard a Little Crow again & chased it up & got photos. Heard the short uk uk call, raised the wings and dipped the tail as it called. Also noted the very short rounded feathers, which formed a short mound on the throat not very long like in the Australian or longish as in Little Raven. Also skinny tarsus & short bill noted. After totally missing this species in dryer parts, such as the Gawler Ranges, it was a total surprise to find this species here.
