Thanks for reporting it, John. It's a tick for me. It was in pond 5 when Dave
Richardson and I arrived about 7pm, but apparently it's been seen in ponds 1
and 7, so we were lucky to get straight onto it (just went where all the cars
were). It couldn't have been more different to the AGP twitch, when we had
access problems, non birders milling around, fighter jets passing overhead, and
I doubt I could have identified it even if I had found it.

Glad you got it Peter.
Last time I was biridng with you, we were looking for an American Golden
Plover...
For those not on Facebook, I posted to Birdline Victoria about lunch today,
having just seen the bird at the T Section Lagoons of the Werribee Treatment
Plant (Pond 5). I was not there bird watching but undertaking water testing for
frog surveys that I am involved with and only had my bins in hand for about 5
minutes.
Not a bad pick up for 5 minutes, if I must say so myself.
Hope many of you can enjoy the bird also. Please remember to stay out of the
ponds as the birdwatching permit doesn't allow us to enter the ponds. I was
there with a colleague today doing water testing for frog surveys and we have
to go through lengthy inductions and other paperwork including getting work
permits before we can work on the WTP. Anybody seen entering the ponds should
have their rego taken and reported to MW. The ponds are not pleasant and pose
serious health risks, including botulism at the moment!!!!!
