The following is a digest of Sightings Reported on Birdpedia for the period 
Monday, September 5, 2022 to Sunday, September 11, 2022:

Area: SA

Date: Sunday, August 28, 2022

Location: Dulkaninna wetlands on the Birdsville Track

Plumed Whistling-Duck (Dendrocygna eytoni) (11) We stopped at this beautiful 
wetland on the way north, and spotted the group of plumed whistling ducks 
sitting on on the edge of the wetland. There was no sign of them on our return 
journey the next day

Also in the wetland over the 2 days were 4 brolgas, 3 hoary-headed grebes, a 
pied cormorant, 20 diamond doves, 5 grey teal, willie wagtails, 2 pied (?) 
stilts, and we heard white-plumed honeyeaters and a reed warbler. Oddly we 
neither saw nor heard budgies nor zebra finches over the half hour or so we 
were there, which had been in so many other places.

Date: Monday, August 29, 2022

Location: About 5km south of Dulkaninna Station on the western side of the 
Birdsville Track

Ostrich (Struthio camelus) (1) We could hardly believe our eyes ! A male 
ostrich was on the side of the road, and stood still long enough for a photo, 
then ambled off.
In Marree the camp ground receptionist said "Oh, there was a rumour someone had 
let one go"
