| Sun 18 | | Masked Lapwing
130E Main Street Sheffield Tasmania |

| White Masked Lapwing. I don't think it was albino because trailing edge of wing was black when it spread its wings in display. Sorry for picture quality - only had my phone camera available. |

| Fri 16 | | Shining Bronze Cuckoo
Sandy Bay, near University |
| Heard a call over the past few days that I didn't recognise but thought it might be a cuckoo. Went to dibird.com and found the call was a Shining Bronze Cuckoo - the repetitive piping call. We've occasionally had other cuckoos here in the past but this is a first for us in nine years here. |

| Mon 5 | | Wedge-tailed Eagle
Near Saundridge Road, Cressy |
| Checking sheep today I noticed an eagle flying low and fast as if going for a kill, what it attacked on the ground was another eagle that seemed to be dragging a wing. the first bird landed in a nearby tree whilst the other scurried under a hawthorn bush. Thinking it had a broken wing I went to investigate, it then flew off and was immediately attacked and brought to the ground by the first bird. The one being attacked was light coloured with a pale head the other was dark. My assumption is one was a juvenile that flew into the nesting territory of a more mature bird. |

| Thu 1 | | Curlew Sandpiper
Orielton Lagoon |
|
| Wader season is well and truly back at Orielton now; besides swarms of stints and godwits, fantastic Red-caps and four gorgeous Pacific Golden Plovers, I was ecstatic to spot a much larger bird looming over the stints that I knew had to be a Sharp-tail or a Curlew Sand... and indeed a Curlew Sand it was!! Not only that, but it wasn't alone; there were two, the absolute highest of a great day out!! eBird checklist |
