In the same general area where Trevor recently reported Cape Barren Geese
and Cattle Egrets, Rolly LLoyd & I saw 65 Glossy Ibis yesterday.
This is by far the most Glossys either of us have seen in the southern
parts of SA. The birds were where the Bremer River enters Lake Alexandrina
on the Milang to Langhorne Creek Road. Latham's Snipe were
also common at Milang.

Last Saturday
while visiting the northern shore of Lake Alexandrina (20km south of Murray
Bridge in SA) I saw a flock of about 160 Cape Barren Geese feeding on irrigated
pasture. After observing
them for a few minutes they all flew off further north as an ultra light
plane flew over the area. Coordinates for interested
people are as follows 35 19 16 S 139 13 53 E on the road from Langhorne
Creek
to Wellington and about 14 km west from Wellington SA.Trevor
