Where did you find the Sharpies? Alistair and I had a good look around
yesterday, in the heat of the middle of the day. From the central viweing
mound we saw most of the same species, except for the waders, of which we
only saw one.

Hello all, went out to Mitchell Park and Pitt Town this morning and saw
just over 100 species.
Mitchell Park seemed full with Scarlet Honeyeaters this morning they were
calling everywhere. Also plentiful was White-Throated Gerygones. Also good
numbers of Rufous Whistlers, Sacred Kingfishers, Little Lorikeets,
Olive-Backed Orioles, Wonga Pigeons and Yellow Thornbills. Other birds of
interest included Dollarbird, Common Bronzewing, and Weebill.
Pitt Town Lagoon was excellent! Myself and David Mitford found the Ruff
(Interesting bird with a large orange-yellow patch at the base of the bill /
on the face of the bird) together with 3 Wood Sandpipers all feeding
together as well as plenty of Sharp-Tailed Sandpipers. Also of interest was
a single Black-Tailed Native-Hen over 40 Glossy Ibis, and 12 Australian
Shelduck. Many very oblidging Baillons Crakes feeding along the muddy edges
as well as the odd Australian-Spotted Crake. Other interesting birds
included Royal Spoonbill, Crested Shrike-Tit, White-Necked Heron, Pink-Eared
Duck, Swamp Harrier.
Cheers
Simon.
