RFI: Species for Vic year list

["Mike Carter" <>]

Luke, You have a good chance of seeing Arctic Jaeger from the ferry between 
Sorrento & Queenscliff. They're around because one was found at Bonbeach on 
Tuesday and is currently in a wildlife shelter. Australian Little Bittern 
are believed to be breeding in the swamps SE of Melbourne (a female with a 
brood patch was caught recently but I can't tell you where and in any case 
they have not otherwise been seen nor recently heard), Pectoral Sandpipers 
have been seen in the last week at Boundary Road and in the Eastern 
Treatment Plant itself but access not possible until we count on 23 
December, and 6 Painted Snipe were seen and photographed yesterday at the 
Desal Park at Wonthaggi, wherever that is - the park not Wonthaggi!
