Hi
There are usually but not always a few banded stilts in the lake on the
left on the way into Pt Augusta SA. There are many at the moment-my guess
is approx 1000 and I have wondering if this is as a result of good rains
last year inland and therefore good breeding. Anyway lovely to see on my
way to work
