Hudsonian Godwit
Picnic Cove, Lake Joondalup, Western Australia
Hudsonian Godwit seen early this morning together with Black-tailed Godwit (1), Australian Spotted Crake (10+), Baillon's Crake (3+), Spotless Crake (2+), Wood Sandpiper (9), Marsh Sandpiper (5) and
Glossy Ibis (14)
(Moderator: A group of six birders, including Dimitris Bertzeletos who found the bird yesterday, were unsuccessful in locating the bird today. Best to look for the Hudwit together with the flocks of Black-winged Stilt and in particular when the birds are flushed by the Swamp Harriers.)

Hudsonian Godwit
Picnic Cove, Lake Joondalup, Western Australia
About 5:30pm I had what I very much believe to be a Hudsonian Godwit at Picnic Cove, Lake Joondalup. The upturned beak and black underwing (it was present on both wings) were obvious in the field.
