Further to Nick's WTP report,
The "helpful fellow birders" being myself and David Richardson also saw 2
Yellow-tufted Honey-eaters at WTP. We thought this unusual as we had only
seen them previously in Eucalyptus forest (me, the Grampians) not in small
shrubs by the sea??
Comments please.
PS the WTP is AWESOME!! For anyone who hasn't been there. Not sure about the
guys fishing out the front though...

Hi,
I spent the morning out at the Western Treatment Plant (Werribee) today and
managed to reach 80 species for the trip.
The highlights were four Purple-crowned Lorikeet (in the trees near the end
of
Beach Road), a Yellow-tufted Honeyeater (just before the turn off to the
hide),
an Immature White-bellied Sea-eagle (near the Borrow Pits), two Flame Robin
(both brown birds), White-winged Black-terns (many in breeding plumage - at
Lake Borrie), Blue-billed Duck (in the ponds along the road to the hide) and
two Wood Sandpiper (spotted by some helpful fellow birders not far from the
river crossing).
All the best,
Nick
