White-fronted Chat (Epthianura albifrons) (1) We saw a single male bird,
sitting on a large rock in a clearing in a direct-seeded area. This is species
number 70 for our place. Is this a usual bird for the Eastern edge of the Mt

Location: Port Willunga. SA.
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) (1) A single immature bird flew north into wind
along the beach. It was harassed by two Magpies and flew to a power pole at the
mouth of the creek where it remained for some time. The Magpies rediscovered it
and it took off again and flew south over the sea and settled on one of the
tallest posts of the ruined jetty. It remained there unmolested for more than
20 minutes when I left.
