Hi all, especially Melbourne birders,
we are really hoping this bird sticks around, and everyone does the right thing and doesn't scare it off. If it hangs around for another week, we are hoping to make a dash across on Mon 3rd (a public holiday here in NW Tas).

I'll post again later in this week, to see if it's still about, and if so, we'll make some bookings, and hope it's still there (we were some of the first to dip onthe Grey-headed Lapwing!).

Anyway, here's hoping it sticks around!

Hi all,

I visited the Edithvale Wetlands, Victoria on Friday and managed to take some decent photos. For those interested you may view a small selection at m("N05/sets/72157608372243234/","//www.flickr.com/photos/7116052");">http: The birdhide at the wetlands is excellent for viewing normally hard to see birds such as Spotted Crake, Spotless Crake, Baillon's Crake and Buff-banded Rail. I do not normally post links to my photos although I have made an exception for this rare, beautiful and co- operative bird.

Cheers, Paul
