Yellow Wagtail near Port MacDonnell, SA (dipped!)

[Steve Clark <>]

G'day all

I went looking for the Yellow Wagtail today.  It was seen on Thurdsay at 
Stony Point east of Port MacDonnell in SA.  I searched the area from 
0930 to 1230 and again in the early afternoon without success.  Rob 
Drummond was there for a short while and a group of four Adelaide folk 
but I don't think anyone saw the bird.  A pity because it was in full 
breeding plumage apparently.  Hopefully it will turn up again - and then 
find its way home.
Lots of other good birds around however so not a wasted effort. 
Double-banded Plovers were quite numerous along the rocky beaches and I 
saw one Whimbrel.  Back at Nelson in Vic there was a Hobby in town, a 
Night-Heron and a Crested Grebe near the boat ramp, a couple of Caspian 
Terns in the estuary and a few Bar-tailed Godwits near the river mouth.
Cheers

Steve
