Black-Fronted Dotterels

Nice photos
We get the same ones here on the east coat as well

Hi Barry,
They certinally are interesting birds to watch. Once on a mine site I found this bird in the middle of a roadway and it only moved at the last minute to get out of the way. I stopped and as I walked back, it done it's broken wing trick and tried to lure me away from the area. I found later two well camouflaged eggs among the gravel in the centre of the road. I placed two witches hats around the nest and for the next 3 weeks or so traffic avoided or slowed down when going past the hats. The chicks were born and raised on the hot gravel roadway. Tough little buggers.

Hi Barry.

Thanks; great pics.

Lake Claremont has had a number of interesting sightings recently.

Cheers.

Great photos ...

Hooded Plovers are better (though my photos aren't :)..slightly harder to find but worth the effort.



Good to see some birders in the crew. Wildflowers are over rated :)

Cheers

An excellent idea - if wildflowers are considered to be worthy of a place why not birds too? We get many dedicated birdwatchers and also many learner types visiting Kilcowera. One thing they all have in common is the curiosity to learn about what it is they are seeing and to go hunting for the birds of a specific area. Toni
