A group of four (consisting of male/female pairs) seen feeding in the

Thu 2 Oct Wandering Tattler Point Cartwright, QLD.
2x Wandering Tattlers seen right on low tide at 7:30am. The Tattlers
were joined on the rocks by a Greater Sand Plover. The birds spent most
of the time foraging on the western half of the rock ledge. At one
point one of the Tattlers chased the Sand Plover after it grabbed a
morsel.

Mon 29 Sep Eyrean Grasswren Birdsville area
Two birds located on a dune on the right hand track just before 'Little
Red' on the Simpson Desert National Park Rd. The turn off to the track
is exactly 34.6 kms from the Birdsville hotel. We went down the track
1.7 km then climbed the sand dune on the left. The birds were located
in this area within 30 minutes.

Sat 27 Sep Zitting Cisticola (2) Port Alma Rd, near Cheetham Salt Works
After looking at HANZAB and consulting with people / looking at images
online, I am now happy to identify two cisticolas that we saw while
searching for the Yellow Chats on Saturday as Zitting Cisticolas. This
ID was based on plumage characteristics mentioned in HANZAB, and on
calls heard in flight. I have fixed our original site list to include
these birds. Further information including a summary from HANZAB can be
found in the link.
