Late this afternoon I saw a pair of Beach Stone-Curlews at Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast. One of the birds was feeding vigorously, appearing to be shovelling some kind of mollusc from the sand. Locals have noted that the species is seen occasionally here. It may be breeding on islands in the Maroochy River. Jill Dening has reported breeding also on islands in the Noosa River further north, so hopefully there is a small resident population on the Sunshine Coast. Also at Maroochydore today was a dark phase Eastern Reef Egret, two Double-banded Plovers and a flock of 20 White-winged Terns, most of them in full breeding plumage - it's getting late for this species to still be around.
