Location: Cheetham Dry Creek Salt Fields
Masked Lapwing (Vanellus miles) (1) There is currently a Northern Masked
Lapwing is currently in the salt Fields Race Miles. It is in company with our
normal race. Location: Go across the two bridges approx a 3rd of the way to
the old pump house site, on the left is a water area by the small lower dirt
road which you can use to turn around. The pair of birds move around this open
area and sometimes when disturbed go west behind the mangroves. this bird has
been there for a while but race was only confirmed on the field trip.
(originally seen by Enid Pascoe full ID was not possible at that time).

Date: Sunday, April 3, 2011
Location: Hindmarsh Island 2.3Km East along Denver Road
Banded Lapwing (Vanellus tricolor) (15) Birds were in a sparsley grassed
paddock,look for a large black poli tank in the far distance(scope required)on
left side of road going in. 3 of the birds were juvenile. Masked Lapwing also
observed.
Double-banded Plover (Charadrius bicinctus) (29) These birds were feeding in
the same paddock and same area has the Banded Lapwing. Denzel Murfet and Ann
Turner of Fleurieu Birdwatchers had spotted the birds the day before.

Date: Thursday, April 7, 2011
Location: Pt Clinton.
Grey-tailed Tattler (Heteroscelus brevipes) (8)
The Grey-tailed Tattlers are still in the same location and seen on a falling
tide.
My sightings have always been from the car parking area at the end of
Cumberland Rd. Port Clinton.
The other area in Clinton that is good for birds is out from Yelta St and this
time there were 3 Godwits, 10 Red Knots, 5 Fairy Terns and a few tiny birds
could be seen moving along with the usual Silve Gull, Crested Tern and Pacific
Gull residents.

Date: Saturday, April 9, 2011
Location: Winter Track Waterfall Gully
Spotted Pardalote (Pardalotus punctatus) (4) Took little notice of the group
foraging and socialising 200 meters from Waterfall Gully road assuming they
were red browed finches but closer inspection revealed a couple of vividly
coloured males with females. They took off after a few minutes into the Manna
gums where there were several more. Their striated relations have been a bit
scarce so it was a treat to see these guys.
White-throated Treecreeper (Cormobates leucophaea) (1) Living up to it's name
in a gum near the Pardalote tribe
