Hi everyone, all the best for Christmas and the New Year at
Good birds indeed Simon Wandering Tattler and Beach Stone Curlew are rare birds in Sydney.
In regards to ID W/Tattlers the wing projection past the tail is not reliable. I still believe you need to hear the call or see the nasal groove to be 100%, but you need to be within 20/30 metres with a scope in good light to see the groove.
There were 20+ White-throated Needletails over Cattia yesterday, M T.
 
The beautiful Hawkesbury 60km N/W of Sydney
