Russell Woodford asks about records of the red-necked Pharlarope in Victoria.

I've just examined the Atlas of Victoria Wildlife mapping program for the
species and it shows there to be 30 records for the state, most of these are
from the western shores of Port Phillip Bay between Geelong and Melbourne with a
few from the Lake Connewarre area south of Geelong.

There are also some old records from far northern Victoria around Swan Hill and
the Kerang Lakes.

Emison et al. (1987) in the 'Atlas of Victorian Birds' note that the few
Victorian records have been of single birds on lakes and sewage lagoons on the
Bellarine Peninsula...' and lakes near Kerang.
