Brolgas in a SE Melbourne suburb

["Mike Carter" <>]

Yesterday, 24 September, I saw two, possibly a 'pair', of Brolgas at the 
Boundary Road & Boggy Creek Wetlands which are on Melbourne Water's Eastern 
Treatment Plant land near Seaford. They flew in from the east. They had 
departed within an hour. This is the first record for the area which I have 
been surveying since 1964. The closest known pair is at the Western 
Treatment Plant on the western side of Port Phillip Bay. They colonised that 
site about 10 years ago and until then weren't known within 100 km of 
Melbourne.
