Just had a couple of days birding near Payne's Find NE of Perth. I
visited a seasonal wetland on both afternoons. I was surprised to
see 28 White-faced Herons on the lake on the second afternoon, with
none there the day before. It looks they are on the move. Not
certain where from, and not certain where to. I have seen them move
around the south west (500 once at Lake Muir east of Manjimup), but
this is inland.
The other surprise were the wetlands. Three were mostly full, while
two others were totally dry (not even damp), and they are all only
about a kilometre apart.
