Black-chinned Honeyeater
Private Residence, Gawler East
Black-chinned Honeyeater (1) Lone bird calling loudly this morning and then returned (and finally seen) just after 2:00pm today, feeding amongst outer foliage of River Redgum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) in neighbours yard. Note : this is also the same tree used occassionally by Crested-shrike Tit/s I have reported on three occassions. Have also heard the same call at distance over the last week, coming from the vicinity of Dead Man's Pass Reserve and neighbouring properties.

Eastern Curlew
Thompson Beach
Eastern Curlew (3) 3 birds seen just north of central carpark, continued to move northward (flying 100-200m further along northern shore) as I approached (when counting other waders present) despite keeping a large distance myself, the birds seemed very wary. Saw again in late afternoon on beach at final path/access point to beach at terminus/north carpark on Esplanade.

Australian Spotted Crake (11) Very confiding, spread throughout the northern limits of trails where stagnant pools with ample samphire cover were present
