Hi All,
On Tuesday a friend and I were visiting a grassland/Swamp remnant site
just to the north of Melbourne. Adjacent to the site is a local STP
including pondages.
Conditions were atrocious with unrelenting STRONG winds and bright
sunlight at low angle. At the STP there were number of ducks, waders etc
present. Some we could ID, others not
(Heard) Masked Lapwing
Hoary-headed Grebe
low (in water, appeared) dark flighty ducks
Red Kneed Dotterel
Black Winged Stilt
Australian Shelduck
little windswept grey-brown blurry waders
Welcome Swallow
Normally we would have done better, but I stress, the conditions were
awful.
Also a scope would have been handy, but I was there primarily to
'survey' the grassland/swamp flora species, look at some recent
management and photograph invertebrates!
I have some poor shots of some of the waders. Would any of the wader
enthusiasts be prepared to look at these and offer an opinion on ID?
