Just returned from the sewage works where after an afternoon of 
bucketing rain there is a nice cover of water over the ground in an 
emptied sewage pond. Lots of waders including a Redshank that 
allowed very close views. Only the second record I'm aware of for 
the 90's, the other one also at the sewage works when a large 
pond was emptied in 1991. Considering that the first Australian 
record of the bird was in Darwin (1970?), it's pretty rare up here.

Happy birding
Niven
