Mon 21 Jul Grey Wagtail Home Island, Cocos Keeling Islands.
A Grey Wagtail settled in a Guava tree amongst the houses on Home
Island for two and a half weeks while the wind was over 25 knots. When
the southerly wind stopped the bird was gone, presumably heading North
as it was in full breeding plumage.
