Further to Jack Krohn's email, I visited the Austin Road lagoons this morning 
(Monday 24 Jan) between 0625 and 0830 and saw the Hudwit with 5 Black-tailed 
Godwits.  The Hudwit and two of the other Godwits were grooming, dipping their 
bills in the water and scratching their chins with their feet.  When I arrived 
the two Brolga were present and, yes, at about 0645, they flew off towards the 
You Yangs.  The Hudwit took some time to sort out but I was fortunate that a 
noisy truck came down the road and startled the birds into flying around the 
lagoon before landing again.  Whilst in flight the dark underwing was very 
visible.
