Hi everyone
Someone at the Belmont Common hide (Geelong, Vic) last Saturday said
that a LITTLE BITTERN had been seen near there a couple of weeks
before. Does anyone know any more about this? It was in the little
swamp next to the golf club car park. Maybe I was asleep and missed
this one on Birdng-Aus???
Still no Lewins Rails, but there is some water in Jerringot once again.
Re Tania Ireton's note on Little Grassbird: Once the mud dried out
at Belmont, LGB's could be seen foraging deep inside the cracks,
often disappearing from view. I also saw Superb Fair-Wrens doing
somethign similar, but I don't think they went in as far. A couple
of Black-fronted Dotterel were fairly tightly wedged into these
cracks as well on Friday or Saturday (yes, I've been there almost
daily looking for those pesky rails....)
