Well Tania

I was just about to put a trip report on B-A and you have beat me to it. The Ballarat BOCA had a trip to Werribee on Sunday also. WE also saw the Freckled Ducks, Cape Barren Geese, Fork-tailed swifts and others you mentioned, apart from Golden Plover. But to add to this list, we also got Black-tailed Native Hen, Double-banded Plover and Lesser Sand Plover and Red Knot (these 3 from the hide). Also an Immature Sea-Eagle near Lake Borrie.

Having been in Qld for the last 7 years, I must say that it was good to get back to Werribee for a look.

Regards to All

Last Sunday I took a Canadian birder to visit the Western Treatment Plant and he was suitably impressed, getting some 50 or so lifers for the day. Apart from the highlights of Frecked Duck, Glossy Ibis, Pacific Golden Plover, Arctic Jaeger, Darter and Cape Barren Goose, we also saw a minimum of 20 Fork-tailed Swifts over the Borrow Pits, slowly moving south.

Regards,

Tania.
