| Sun 2 |  | Grey-headed LapwingAmata Waste Water Treatment Plant |
|
| Large, unusual Lapwing observed at approx. 1530 after very quiet weeks at the sewage ponds. Raced home to collect scope and camera sorry, such average photos for such a rare bird! Very wary and would not allow close approach. **Access to Amata and communities on the APY Lands is only possible through a permit system. Be warned - Men's business/ceremony is occurring in this part of the APY Lands at the moment and this site sits on the eastern edge of very 'sensitive' country. |

| Sat 15 | | Southern Emu-wrenWeir Cove Hike, Flinders Chase NP, Kangaroo Island |

| Was a cool, intermittently wet day and the Emu Wrens really seemed to like the rain - very active and vocal while it was raining, much quieter once the rain stopped. |
