G'day everyone
Visited the Western Treatment Plant (Werribee)
yesterday in search of the Pratincoles and Shoveller. We searched for over an
hour for the Northern Shoveller around the T-section Lagoons without any
success. Maybe it was too late in the afternoon or we just weren't looking hard
enough but we couldn't find it anywhere. Could anyone please give me some
more accurate directions on where to find the Shoveller as we weren't sure which
part of the T-section Lagoons to look around?
The Oriental Pratincoles were found after a lot of
searching (they were very well hidden and not moving around much) roosting at
the river end of the Paradise Road Ponds. Excellent views were had of the two
birds sitting together. Also of interest were the White-winged Black-Terns in
full breeding plumage flying around the northern end of Lake
Borrie.
