It appears that the drought has sent into the Canberra region a variety of
birds not usually seen here, including the following:
* Painted Honeyeaters in number of locations, and breeding at Campbell Park
* Lots of White-browed Woodswallows and some Masked Woodswallows in the
woodlands throughout the region, with breeding observed among the White-browed
* Sharp-tailed Sandpipers at Kelly's Swamp
* A Pectoral Sandpiper at Kelly's Swamp
* A Long-toed Stint at Kelly's Swamp (probably the first ACT record of
this species)
* A Black-tailed Native-hen at Kelly's Swamp.
In recent months we have had a number of Whiskered Terns at Kelly's Swamp,
and a Gull-billed Tern there.
