Yes, I have to plead guilty in all...Hi Penny,<br /> Yes, I have to plead guilty in all too often not giving all the information that I should! The spot is at the entrance to the Cape Deslacs conservation area, along Bicheno St., (backs on to Clifton Beach). The area is part of the remnants of a saltmarsh, which is now flooded presumably by rain water as Black-fronteds are usually found near fresh water. Failing finding them there, you might try Rushy Lagoon (near Lauderdale)--turn off at the large radio aerial, past Clear Lagoon (on the left), next right and follow the road to the farm house. Recently there have been several birds feeding on the lagoon margins--very cryptic birds, so be warned.<br /> I should have also mentioned that the presence of 'orange-tipped' birds would suggest that they're Mainland birds that joined the migration South. My knowledge of the distribution of the different 'coloured' striateds is minimal, so I have no idea where they are usually found.BirdingTashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341646998037894004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-76228630349642234962009-10-17T21:16:13.414+11:002009-10-17T21:16:13.414+11:00Hi Alan, thanks for sharing these observations and...Hi Alan, thanks for sharing these observations and photos. Would you mind sharing which area of the lagoon the black fronted plovers were situated as I have yet to see one (I certainly haven't seen an orange- tipped Striated Pardalote either, but I will look with renewed interest!)Pennynoreply@blogger.com
