Northern Shoveler
Western Treatment Plant, Werribee, Victoria
Further to earlier report (which I phoned in via John Barkla) the male Northern Shoveler was with a small group of Australasian Shoveler among the trees on Lake Borrie this morning. Other highlights were numbers of Buff-banded Rails (at least 8) and a similar number of Spotted Crakes. Cape Barren Geese were also nesting on Borrie.

Grey Honeyeater
Cue W.A., Western Australia
I stopped approx 8 kms north of Cue and searched the area on the eastern side of the highway. I had at least five Grey Honeyeaters within a few minutes all around me! I managed around 50 photographs (okay, not all clear) before moving on. The previous four days was steady rain according to locals so today's clear conditions may have brought them out.
