Slender-billed Prion, Double-banded Plover
Norfolk Island 2899, New South Wales
Observed yesterday afternoon at about 3pm. a very tired looking Petrel, after referring to a couple of Guides we initially decided that it was an Antarctic Prion way out of its range, however subsequent events have proved it to be a Slender-billed Prion. Last couple of days we have had big southerly blows, so probably the cause of its northerly position. .17 Double-banded Plovers also seen.

(Possible) Tawny Grassbird
Lake Hindmarsh - North West shore, Victoria
Distinct rufous crown and pale unmarked breast, long uplifted tail. On ground (in shallow water) and climbing reeds and shrubs at edge of lake. Watched for 2 minutes. Little grassbirds also present. [Ed note: this report is way out of range - with no previously confirmed Victorian records - and should be viewed with caution. One alternative is Rufous Songlark. Have contacted the observer for more details.]
