Published sightings for the week ending 31 Aug 2014.
Thu 28 Aug Citrine Wagtail (Subject to submission to BARC) Putta Bucca
Wetlands, Mudgee
A single Citrine Wagtail was sighted this morning walking along the
shoreline in front of the reed bed near the first bird hide (near the
truck). It was seen twice and then lost to view. On checking form the
other side it was not to be seen. A pair of Red-kneed Dotterels had
been chasing a pair of Black-fronted Dotterels in the same area.
Pink-eared and Pacific Black Ducks, Grey and Chestnut Teal and
Australian Shovelers were on the water. [Moderator's note (NH):
Sightings of Citrine Wagtail should be submitted to BARC. So far only
three Citrine Wagtails have been accepted by BARC: Botany Bay, NSW,
1962; Goolwa, SA, 1987; Christmas Island, 2009.]
