Pretty good afternoon with a couple of visitors.

Paradise Rd yielded a Buff-banded Rail (on the road), 10 Cape Barren
Geese and no fewer than 6 Brolgas - I've never seen more than 4
before. They flew off towards the T-section.

270S Borrow Pits had 18 Black-tailed Godwit and at least 4 Spotted
Crake. 95ES South Conservation Pond yielded 20 Glossy Ibis, at least 6
Spotted Crakes and 2 Baillon's.

35E Pond 8 Conservation Pond had a Ruff, 3 more Glossy Ibis and a
further Spotted Crake.

Little River yielded 3 Great-crested Grebe and a solitary Black-tailed
Native Hen, whilst the last spit before Beach Rd had around 6
Bar-tailed Godwits.

And to wrap the afternoon off a tree in my local shopping centre
(Werribee Plaza) had Musk, Little and Purple-crowned Lorikeets.
