We usually get many more Straw-necked Ibis around
the Bass Coast (Vic), especially Phillip Island at this time of
year. this year is no exception with S-Necked outnumbering Whites by about
20/1 in most paddocks. Don't bother to count them as they are usually
spread out in almost every suitable paddock in the district and only notice them
out of the corner of my eye as I am travelling at a safe speed on the
roads. There's too much traffic on the local roads to get too carried away
with birdwatching while you're driving!

Phillip Island
P.S. JAG, It might have been raining over on the
Mornington Peninsula, but Phillip Island (or Cowes) missed out completely
- again! (For those who don't know Phillip Island straddles the mouth of Western
Port - the Mornington Penisula is the western side of Western
Port.)
