The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period
Monday, June 16, 2014 to Sunday, June 22, 2014:
Area: SA
Date: Monday, June 16, 2014
Location: Onkaparinga Estuary
Sooty Oystercatcher (Haematopus fuliginosus) (1) Three sooty Oyster catchers
flying low and piping, into the Estuary Mouth and landed on the rocks under the
cliff where the crested terns usually loaf/rest. This is certainly a first for
me tho' they may be more common along the Seaford Foreshore?
Eastern Reef Egret (Egretta sacra) (1) Dark Morph Egret working the shallows
upstream of the footbridge. I would love to know if these birds have a long
life or if a single bird turns out here every year. The last twenty years has
produced a sighting in this area!

Date: Tuesday, June 17, 2014
Location: Mangrove complex at Price, Gulf St Vincent
Osprey (Pandion haliaetus) (1) Single adult, seen perching and hunting over
tidal channels through mangroves near Price. There were large schools of mullet
moving on the flood-tide event nearby.
There are few records of osprey from northern Gulf St Vincent and given recent
and historical breeding records from mangrove areas in SA, observers should be
alert to the possibility in this area.
