While chasing last weeks Sooty Oystercatchers on the rocks, I came across a new bird. It took me a little while to ID it with my Morcombe Bird app on my iPhone but I discovered a really special lifer.
The Wandering Tattler is found singly or in very small numbers on coral cays or rocky shores in Queensland, New South Wales and the Northern Territory.
Wandering Tattlers are apparently quite rare in Australia, so you can imagine my delight when I discovered this one. Just to be sure, I ran my images by a number of very experienced & reputable Australian birders and received a unanimous response.
So here it is...

Would love to see a Tattler show up in one of our migrating bird flocks! (That would be quite rare.)
