On checking a few things and reviewing photographs I now realise it was not the "resident Spotted Harrier" but a Swamp Harrier. That is the first we have recorded in the area in five and a half years. The COG Atlas entry will be revised. Martin

Also at least 10 Australasian Shovellers (unusual out here) and the usual suspects. An addition to the local list was at least 4 Hoary-headed Grebes, mixed in with a lot of Australasian Grebes. Driving to the marsh we came across at least 12 Flame Robins of which only 3 were breeding plumage males. |
