I agree with Steve, that is a LOT of Wanderers. I've only ever seen them
in ones and twos.

Tobias. That's an extraordinary number of Wandering Tattlers. Were they
all hanging around together? Are your pics on the web at all? Steve

Hi all,
Here is a summary of the recent trip Dad and I did up to Lamington NP
(from Canberra), from the 1st day of 2009 until last Monday (12th).
First---are Forest Ravens known to occur in Myall Lakes NP? Details
below.
Setting out from Canberra on the New Year, we stopped at Newcastle
(Nobby's
Breakwater) where we found several Common Terns and Wedge-tailed
Shearwaters out to sea.
Stockton Sandspit at the wrong time (low tide) still had a couple of
Bar-tailed Godwits, a Caspian Tern and two Little Terns.
We camped overnight at Myall Lakes NP (Korsmann's Landing) where an
early morning birdwalk the following morning found me Shining
Bronze-Cuckoo, White-bellied Cuckoo-Shrikes, Koels, Black-faced Monarchs
and a Leaden Flycatcher.
We drove north for most of the rest of the day, finding little until we
arrived in Grafton, where we soon found Nutmeg Mannikin (first lifer)
amongst others. We camped at a caravan park in Illuka overnight, getting
Red-necked Stint (2nd lifer, bird no. 350 in Aus), Lesser Sand Plover
and probably 5-6+ Greater Sand Plover (3rd lifer). I say probably
because at the time I wasnt entirely aware of their id, but photos have
since confirmed it.
Early in the morning I managed to find and get nice shots of at least
two White-eared Monarchs ( 4th lifer, probably the bird of the trip) in
the nearby coastal rainforest. Also Varied Triller and regent Bowerbird.
After that we drove north, dropping by Hastings Point, where there were
around 12 Wandering Tattlers (5th lifer, nice photos) before arriving at
Lamington on the 3rd.
Cheers
Tobias
