Thu 30highlightRed-footed Booby, Black-winged, White-necked and Gould's Petrels, White Tern
Offshore--Port Stephens pelagic
A very enjoyable on the ocean today out of Port Stephens, almost doubling our tally of just 11 species on the 12th Jan today with 21 species recorded outside of the heads. Highlights were distant Red-footed Booby and White Tern, but far more respectable views of Black-winged and White-necked Petrels, along with a Port Stephens record count of 19x Gould's Petrels. We had nearly as many Sooty Terns, along with a first for Port Stephens pelagics; a Black Noddy in the dying minutes just a couple of miles from the heads. eBird checklist

Sun 19highlightCommon Sandpiper
Lake Brewster Weir, Lachlan River
Single bird seen today just below the weir. It flew to a nearby log where it could be seen clearly bobbing its tail constantly. When it flew it had the distinct white wing bar and was in non breeding plumage. My first ever record of this species anywhere along the Lachlan River. (Moderator's Note: This is the 3rd record for this site, as there was a report from here in 24/3/2022 (on eBird) and there was another report for 29-30/3/1986 in the 1986 NSW Annual Bird Report that just said Lake Brewster, but could well have been at this same site too. AKM).
