Frustrating I only had my phone! I couldn’t get any closer as there are fenced works going on there reshaping the water way.
First time this bird has been seen at this location and only 3rd time seen in Australia. Whatever caused this bird to fly south for the winter instead of west?
long staying, rare vagrant to Australia
