On A Date
Red-necked Avocet (Recurvirostra novaehollandiae)
From a memorable trip to the Western Treatment Plant on this day in 2019. Memorable for two reasons, there was a Tufted Duck there (which had attracted every bird nerd in Victoria, or so it seemed), a very rare sighting in Australia and thousands of kilometres from its known habitat. And it was a stinking hot yet very cloudy day. I did think about posting am image of the Tufty but they are not that great.
