A bit of a rubbish spot, but our little friend seems to find plenty of food here. Whilst here I almost stepped on a Brown Snake, so be aware!

Hi Christine, can you please check the location on this sighting? All the other records of this bird are from Isabella Pond (across the Road) and I also notice that your White-faced Heron sighting (in which one of the images is the Common Sandpiper) is from Isabella Pond too?

Regards Luke.
