Tue 30 Sep Little Curlew Alice Springs Waste Stabilisation Ponds
Following up on a report of an unidentified wader which seemed to fit
the description of a Little Curlew, Anthony Molyneux and I were able to
positively identify the bird as a Little Curlew. The lone bird was
hanging on or near the central grassed area.
