All eyes on the flock of waders that were disturbed by a Whistling Kite.
A surprise for us was a pair of Black-fronted Dotterel (Charadrius melanops), first time recorded at Mullen's
Rufous Whistler (male) (Pachycephala rufiventris)
Samphire throwing early morning shadow on the flats.
Mangroves at Mullen's.
Though most of the waders have migrated at this time of year we still managed to get 15 species with a total of 369 birds. Very noticeable were 14 Intermediate Egret looking all white against the green background of the mangroves. Also of note was a Swamp Harrier and the local Whistling Kite which frequently disturbed the waders while we were there.
