Mon 16/9. I located this bird at approximately 9.45 this morning, in the narrow
section of the fenced Cell, at the West Perth Wetlands. It was seen well by 4
observers. We saw it again at the north edge of Cell 5 at 10.47, but by 11.10,
it was back in the narrow section of the fenced Cell and still present when we
left at 11.30am. Also present were 3 Wilson's Snipe and 1 WHITE-RUMPED
SANDPIPER. DIRECTIONS:- from the east, follow Hwy 8 through Stratford, to the
first traffic lights in Mitchell. Turn LEFT onto Wellington Street and follow
it to Frank Street. Continue on the gravel road, past the Ball Diamond, to the
parking lot. From the West, follow Hwy 8 into Mitchell. At the bottom of the
hill, turn RIGHT onto Hwy 23 South. Turn LEFT onto Frank Street (the last
street on the left), over the bridge and up the hill. Turn RIGHT onto the
gravel road at the Ball Diamond and follow it to the parking lot. From the
South, follow Hwy 23 to Mitchell. Just past the blue "Mitchell" sign, turn R
IGHT onto Frank Street (at the 50 km/h sign) and proceed over the bridge to
the Ball Diamond. Turn RIGHT onto the gravel road to the parking lot. Cell 2 is
beside the parking lot, Cell 3 is east of the fenced cell and Cell 5 is the
large cell to the south-east. Be aware, the Ploughing Match begins Tues 17th
and runs to Sun 21st, in the Mitchell area. Eric Jeffery, St. Marys
