Looks
like the same bird we saw this morning. Went there with 6 others and found it
still there, right opposite the east end of the lignum in hart Rd. on a bank
part way across the water. Had good scope views but it was a bit hard to see
with binos as it mostly stayed down in a dip with just it's head poking up
catching flies. The cattle and Cape Barrens stirred it a few times and we
had whole body views as it walked around. Once they had passed it went back down
into the dip.
My GPS
fix at the end of the lignum was 35 17 13.1 e, 138 27 39.3s.. You were probably
a little bit further west looking through the gap in the
lignum?
Others
present were Lyn & Terry Gould, Burt May, Bob Sothman, Roly Lloyd, and Enid
Pascoe. Watched it from ca 9.10 thru 10.55 a.m.
Not a
tick but an excellent bird for South Oz. Once again thanks for the
info.
