I went to Acacia Inlet this morning to see if last years Little Bitterns were there again. No sign of them, but that doesn't mean anything. There were however 4 Latham Snipe, several Little Grassbird, and Little Lorikeets continuously calling, feeding in the many flowering eucalypts, and flying over. The largest group I saw was five birds flying over the tree tops but I was continuously seeing singles as well. The birds were not difficult to pick up feeding either, as the eucalpyts aren't too tall or dense here. So there are at least 5 in the vicinity but possibly a few more.
Quick check at Norgrove Park produced the obligatory Spotless Crake and the best of the usual birds at Fyshwick was a Brown Quail round the back of Kelly's Swamp.
