At Dunwich on North Stradbroke Island (Southeast Qld) this morning 
Barry Davies and I observed a Bar-tailed Godwit coming out of breeding 
plumage. This is the first migratory shorebird I have recorded here for 
the coming season. Anyone else picking out migratory shorebird arrivals?

In not so good news, we also saw a single Common Starling in Dunwich, 
the first time I have seen this bird on the island. On July 7th this 
year I recorded my first Indian Mynas for Straddie (a pair at One 
Mile). I would be interested if anyone could comment on the historical 
or recent presence of these two exotic species on Brisbane's bay 
islands.

Cheers, Pete Kyne
Dunwich, North Stradbroke Island, Qld
