With the city of
Melbourne as a backdrop we had a very pleasant morning at the Cheetham Wetlands
near Point Cook. The highlight of our trip was at least 50 Pacific Golden
Plover. There were Red-capped Plovers, more Curlew sandpipers than
we have been seeing at the Western Treatment Plant. There were many Common
Greenshanks and plenty of Sharp-tailed Sandpipers.
I am finding
it hard to make time to go bird-watching as I am quite absorbed by Sean
Dooley's The Big Twitch, it is supposed to be a Christmas present but I
have secreted it away and will only give it back when I have finished it.
It is amazing as I followed his progress on 'birding-aus' in 2001 and know the
end to most of the stories but that is not detracting from my reading of the
book.
