Just returned from a trip to Payne's Find, Mt Magnet, Yalgoo and Cue with Gil Langfield from Victoria.

We stopped at Lake Austin. Gary Oliver reported 100 Banded Stilt there recently. Things have changed :

Banded Stilt 3250
Red-necked Avocet 300
Black-winged Stilt 100
Red-capped Plover 10
Gull-billed Tern 1

The majority of the stilts / avocets were immatures. Presumably they are returning from breeding somewhere in the north or the east after the excellent conditions. I am told that there are still none on Rottnest Island.

Also four Orange Chats.
