Hi  James,

I thought there was some question whether the bird is Collared or Black-winged, or even rarer hybrid of two?
Just my reading of yesterday's various posts.

Cheers,
Tony

Hi all,

For those who haven't seen the posts on Facebook, the Oriental Pratincole that has been hanging around Herdsman Lake in Perth has been re-identified as Australia's very first Collared Pratincole. As of yesterday evening the bird was still present. I imagine this site will receive many visitors across the weekend!

This makes two mainland records for new birds for the country this year with the pratincole and the media-famed Tufted Duck.
