Hudsonian Godwit
Picnic Cove, Lake Joondalup, Western Australia
Latest Hudwit update is that it was showing reasonably well from Picnic Cove yesterday arvo, and well enough for several people to see the colour band on it's other leg, accompanying the red leg flag. Dimitris, Wayne Merritt and others are confident that the colour band is green - I was also able to get some more rubbish photos that show both the flag and the colour band.
This was passed on to the American researchers, who report that this confirms that the bird was banded on Chiloe Island, Chile, in January 2010!
The bird was still associating with the breeding plumage Blackwit. Also around Picnic Cove were 3 White-winged Black Terns, and 2 Gull-billed Terns were seen from Neil Hawkins Park
