Referring to Edwin's nocturnal Masked Lapwings,
here in southern Victoria I often hear Lapwings flying over at night but do not
have them on my home bird list.
They usually fly over at the same time(11pm) so
I must be under a nocturnal flight path. I have never seen them during the
day.
I see many Kelp Gulls flying over (identified by
their call) in recent times and am concerned about their possible impact on our
endemic Pacific Gull. Back in the 70's and 80's Kelps were a rare occurrence but
are a common sight now on the south eastern shores of Port Phillip
Bay.
