Werribee Western Treatment Plant, Victoria

["Gil Langfield" <>]

Yesterday at the farm, I saw a Spotted Harrier for the first time in
Victoria, for me.  The 1987 "Atlas of Victorian Birds" suggests that most
Spotted Harriers are summer migrants but it is certainly not summer at the
moment.  Maybe, like the Black-tailed Native Hens which seemed to be
everywhere, the harrier is escaping drought conditions inland.
