Hello, went to Shoalhaven Heads on Saturday and
Malabar Headland this evening. Firstly saw the Orange Chat this
evening at about 6:30pm (thanks Frank for helping with directions). I just read
a posting by Bruce Cox and tend to agree that the bird I saw was perhaps an
immature male - the yellow forehead and and frontal crown are fairly clear
+ I felt that the plumage looked fresh and bright, but this could also have been
due to the light at the time - certainly a brilliant bird to be found in Sydney
- well done Frank Hemmings!
At Shoalhaven Heads on Saturday, a large number of
Pacific Golden Plovers with over 300
present, also about 400 Bar-Tailed Godwit, 3 Red
Knot, about 250 Red-Necked Stint, 20
Eastern Curlew, 50 Red-Capped Plover, 30
Sharp-Tailed Sandpiper also present was a Grey
Goshawk, Caspian Tern and White Bellied
Sea-Eagle.
Cheers
Simon.
