Sanderling

Around 140 birds, including one in full breeding plumage. Learned from local guru, Liz Znidersic, that this flock has been returning to this site for a few years with presumably the same bird in reverse breeding plumage each time.

Common Myna
Currie, King Island
In reply to a posting on Eremaea regarding the sighting of a single Common Myna near the township of Currie, King Island by Martin Cachard and Simon Mustoe on the 09/02/13 I would like to add that I saw a single of this species near the Currie post office on the 05/11/13. The bird was feeding in the gutter outside the building about 3.30pm (DST) on the day.
In the same submission referred to above Flesh-footed Shearwaters were reported on the 08-09/02/13. I would also like to add that I found a beach-washed specimen of this species on Porky Beach, King Island on the 09/11/13. The specimen was in good condition externally but in a fairly advanced state of putrification; dead about three or four days perhaps? It was among a number of recently dead Short-tailed Shearwaters.
