Spent some time today at Wickham Point (Caloundra Headland)
and found four Wandering Tattler,two Sooty Oystercatcher, a white phase
Eastern Reef Egret, as well as more usual Great and Little Black Cormorant,
Silver Gull, and an immature Gull-billed Tern.
Got quite close to the tattlers and
observed all had a light rufous/tan colouration to ends
of primaries and tail feathers, and similair colouration on lower rump. Can find
no refernce to this in field guides, all say uniform grey colour (though "darker
than Grey-tailed").
Interested in hearing whether other birders
have noticed this.Is their anything in HANZAB?
