Hi all,
Last weekend (24/2/07 - 25/2/07) I was heading to Hill End (70km North of
Bathurst) and came across a Banded Lapwing. I think this is an unusual
location for these. It was in the same location on both days and is likely
to still be there if you are interested in ticking, photographing, etc.
It was on Turondale Rd. Heading South from Hill End Rd cross the Turon River
and after the road takes a sharp turn to the left there is a farm house on
the right (only a few hundred metres from the bridge). The Banded Lapwing
was with a pair of Masked Lapwings and a group of Australian Wood Duck
around the 2 small dams near the road at the entrance gate to the farm.
They are a bit shy so you have to have your camera ready if you want to take
shots as they walk away up the bank towards the farm. I got a few reasonable
shots at medium range as they moved away.
Good Luck!
Ian Hackworthy BSc BVSc
