I ventured to Stockyard Point on the eastern side of Westernport Bay yesterday afternoon hoping to see some shorebirds and while I didn't observe a great deal of variety, I was compensated by great numbers of Curlew Sandpipers and Red Necked Stints. Also present were many Gull Billed Terns and Whiskered Terns.
A Brown Falcon made a brief appearance and the ensuing chaos could not be captured by my telephoto lens. Note to self: always take a wide angle lens in the kit.
Some Red Necked Avocets dropped by late in the day.
A non breeding Little Tern rests alongside some Curlew Sandpipers.
Pied Oystercatchers are always present.
Three different Terns: Caspian, Whiskered and Gull Billed.
Great photos and great records Wayne. Thanks for sharing. I'm hoping to drop in there this weekend depending on tides / weather.
