Birdline North Queensland
Published sightings for the week ending 16 Nov 2014.
Fri 14 Nov Grey Wagtail Birthday Creek Falls - Paluma Range National
Park
One individual, non-breeding plumage, observed hopping upstream from
the falls at approx. 10am. Bird was flighty and flew to low branches
when initially approached, then continued upstream, maintaing a
significant distance from us. One distant and heavily cropped
photograph attached here to support the record. I note there is one
previous record from the same location from 1993.

Yellow Wagtail Mungalla Station--Forrest Beach, Queensland
Very plain white and grey Wagtail beside Palm Creek pool near old
stockyards today. Flighty. Lost bird after low flight across extensive
wetlands. My first sighting of species this season.

Sun 9 Nov Pectoral Sandpiper Warri Park - Port Douglas
Seen well in the wide section of the drain at the southern end of the
lake just before it passes under the road - busy poking around in the
mud by 2 observers at 6.15am. Bill yellowish at the base and looked
longer than a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper bill, markings on breast abruptly
cut off, single bird not in company of others.
