g'day all,
A very brief note to report that Graham Wardle from
Atherton & I got an excellent view of a single non-breeding Red-necked
Phalarope late yesterday afternoon on Wide Bay, Lake Moondarra, Mount
Isa.
To my knowledge, this species has been sighted 3
times at Lake Moondarra.
Other Shorebird/Waders from overseas
included
- Black-tailed
Godwit
13
- Oriental
Plover
1 (two weeks ago there was + 400)
- Red-necked
Stint
4
- Pacific Golden
Plover
2
-
Marsh Sandpiper
20+
-
Sharp-tailed Sandpipers 100s
I
did follow up the recent Birding-Aus lead of Nick Dymond's (from the Faroe
Islands) sighting of the R-n P on the Tablelands Hwy (NT) at the Playford
River but the 1100km round trip was unsuccessful. I have heard on the grapevine
that one was at the Alice Springs Sewage Ponds. Any more info available on that
?
We
will no doubt, publish more details of the observation.
Regards
Bob
Forsyth, Mount Isa, NW Qld.
