Jason Searle's message bounced - he has a photo of the bird so may be able to put that online or send it to anyone who requests it. Please contact him directly (I also have the photo if anyone wants a look)

Hi

I believe I have spotted a white wagtail at the Awonga Point sewage farm at Weipa over the easter break (see photo attached). Based on a quick look at Simpson & Day, it looks like a male in nonbreeding plumage, although if anyone can confirm this that would be great ...

It is worth a look if you are in the vicinity, I have seen it about 6 times over the past few days. However, work is recommencing on the expansion of the plant today after the easter break, so access is likley to be a problem, as thwere are signs saying the road will be closed ???? Also the bird is pretty flighty so may not stay much longer once the machinery fires up ...

I will be on the mine all day and dont have access to the mailing list from here, but will check my emails tonight ...

Cheers Jason Searle
