| Sat 15 | | Buff-breasted Sandpiper
Port of Brisbane Shorebird Roost |
| | Buff-breasted sandpiper found by Tina Ellen Rider and Sean Nolan on Saturday and twitched by many people over the weekend. The bird is still present this morning (17th) according to a post from Tina on Facebook.
The bird tends to prefer the samphire around the second hide (further from the gate). For those going to see it, please take the track along the fence to the second hide rather than the inside track to avoid flushing the birds. | | Elliot Leach 17/12 #236365 |

| Mon 17 | | Oriental Pratincole
Western Treatment Plant (Werribee)--T Section Ponds | | Adult roosting in rocks in pond 5. | | Jeff Davies 17/12 #236367 |
| Sun 16 | | Lewin's Rail
Deadman Creek - Beechworth | | Heard loud advertising 'Kek-Kek-Kek' call coming from a grassy drainage line and dam along Deadman Creek - approx 500m East of the Diffey Road underpass along the Rail Trail. Waited to hear call repeated again to confirm it was not a frog. Over 200mm rain fell locally in the last few days and the broader landscape is saturated - possibly some displacement of species to higher elevations in the catchment. eBird checklist | | Dan Pendavingh 16/12 #236363 |
| | Terek Sandpiper
Stockyard Point | | 5 individuals seen feeding along the point at 12:30pm | | Nick Goode 16/12 #236359 |
| Sat 15 | | Soft-plumaged Petrel
Port Fairy Pelagic |
| | Some pretty rough and overcast conditions throughout day. Not a huge variety but interesting bunch of birds. Highlight was a Soft-plumaged Petrel that circled boat several times, allowing for good views. Bit of a rarity in Vic waters. Good number of White-chinned Petrel [20-30], several Sooty Shearwater, Hutton's Shearwater and at least 1 possibly 2 Northern Royal Albatross. eBird checklist | | Scott Baker, Kevin Bartram, Neil Macumber [all aboard Southern Explorer] 16/12 #236360 |
