Published sightings for the week ending 9 May 2010.

so.

Royal Spoonbill, Nankeen Night-Heron, Silvereye. Queechy Lake,
Launceston.
It may be of interest to some that there are still 4 x Royal Spoonbill
present at the lake. Also Silvereye: (15+) were noteworthy as most have
departed by the end of April. Nankeen Night-Heron: (2) were roosting in
trees at the southern end of the lake. Also a single Brown Falcon seen
flying overhead briefly was the first I have recorded at this site.
Little Grassbird: had excellent views of one near the viewing platform.
