Hi John,
There's quite a few at the Western Treatment Plant at the moment, and they are
also at Morley Swamp in the Gippsland Lakes, Victoria Lagoon at Holland's
Landing, and there was a large flock (150+) on Hattah Lakes, Hattah-Kulkyne
National Park, last time I was there.
Also, while on the topic of the Recurvirostridae family, has anyone seen any
Banded Stilt in Victoria this year? They seem to be absent from known sites.
The last records I have are from the WTP in August 2008 and Moolap saltworks
(Geelong) in March 2008. Any feedback would be most helpful.
Cheers,
Tim

Subject: Any Red-necked avocets in victoria at the moment
Hi everyone,
I have had an interesting request from a painter who has an important
commission and needs to see and study some red-
necked avocets in the wild. I haven't been doing much birdwatching
recently but have heard some rumours that there
aren't many around at present (at least in Vic). So does anyone know of
anywhere in victoria with good numbers of
avocets (or any really)? Any sightings not too far into NSW or SA would
also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
John
