On the theme of summer migrants - I walked around Banyule Wetlands (Melbourne
Sunday 10th Sept.) for the first time of the 'session'. No Crake, but did flush
a single Latham's Snipe. Other birds of interest included some 'haunting'
Little Grassbird, Black-fronted Dotterel, Fan-tailed Cuckoo, Chestnut and Grey
Teal, and numerous Australasian Grebe vigorously staking out their territory.
While at the wetlands another birdwatcher wondered up to me and asked me how I
distinguished between female Chestnut Teal and Grey Teal? Easy, I said. The
female Chestnut Teal is the one beside the male Chestnut Teal - very Scientific!

<blockquote type="cite" cite><font face="Arial" size="-1">The
following are the arrival dates for the spring migrants that have
been relayed to me or have been placed on Birdline or on
Birding-Aus.I have indicated whether the arrival date I have is early
(E), late (L) or average (A) for the species concerned based on
records held by the NSWFOC over 30 years. Some records are for birds
outside the survey area (marked * thus) but that is because they are
the only records known. I would be interested if anyone has
earlier records for the survey area. Some birds have already returned
a month ago or more like Wedge-tailed Shearwater, Rufous
Whistler and Fairy Martins so they are not included in this list.
Obviously there are more migrants yet to come like the Monarchs &
Flycatchers, Dollarbirds, Kingfishers & Cicadabirds. The location
