Wed 31 Dec Ruddy Turnstone Moreland Point, near Devonport
Approximately 80 birds foraging in the seaweed a little to the east of
the "usual" high tide roost, in very wild and windy conditions. Nice to
see good numbers of this species here still, at least, even if overall
species diversity was well down tonight.

Two Red Knot now at north eastern bay or Greenshank Corner in Midway
Pt. The two Knot were feeding and sheltering together from the wind at
high tide with about 70 Eastern Curlew and 6 Greenshank.

Thu 25 Dec Forty-spotted Pardalote Marion Bay
Party of somewhere between 12 and 15 working through white gums behind
the beach just north of the Marion Bay village. In 15 years of weekly
walks through this area this is the first time I have encountered them
here, despite Maria Island being in view across the water. [An
interesting report of this rare species outside their normal range -
perhaps a temporary dispersal from the Maria Island population? JT,

Bay and Seal Point

plovers and red-necked stints, along sheltered rocky shoreline between
Kangaroo Bay and Seal Point
