I thought I might add to John's sightings of 'unusual ' species turning up
at the WTP.
Last week, there were two Yellow-faced Honeyeaters in the salt marsh at
The Spit.
Also earlier in the year, i saw pair of Singing Honeyeaters on the
shoreline up near Barrow Pits.

[Birding-Aus] Werribee TP 20/5
Dear All
Had an interesting day at Werribee on Saturday (20th). Met up with Fiona
and Jonathan Parkin for a days tripping. While not getting any of the
birds I went for - Lewin's Rail, OBP or Aust. Bittern, I did add a couple
to my WTP list. The first bird I recorded as I stopped at the Paradise Rd
gate was Dusky W/S (about 6) - bird #1. Did all the usual places and a
couple of tracks that I didn't even know existed like the one behind the
Borrow Pits. Saw a single Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater at the eastern end of
the Borrow Pits, jumping around the dead trees before it flew off over the
coast - bird#2. Saw Red-browed Finches heading east towards Conservation
Ponds - bird#3. Spotted Crakes were seen at the Borrow Pits and along the
Spit. 4 Fairy Terns were observed on rocks just off the "beach" as we
travelled between the Kirk's Pt gate and the Hide along the beach road.
All in all a good day with over 70 species seen.
Yours in all things "green"
Regards
