The Hooded Plover found on the Noosa River (Noosa, Sunshine Coast, Queensland) on 15th June 2010 is still there and is now changing
into its adult plumage. Currently the hood is dark with grey patches making the bird look more like a "Hoary-headed Plover" but it
shouldn't be too long before it is fully black.
I was able to get some more photos on Tues 17th Aug and have added a few to the collection in the Noosa Hooded Plover gallery on my
SmugMug site.
Go to http://ptiloris.smugmug.com/
Click on the "Rare Sightings"gallery icon and then click on the "Noosa Hooded Plover" gallery icon to see the collection of plover
images.
I have added a map at the beginning of the collection to show where the bird
currently is and how far it is from 'home'.
The new pictures are images 8 to 14.......or they should be. They are the ones showing the bird with a dark but not yet totally
black head.
