I can’t decide on the identity of this lovely, tiny (less than 20cm) shorebird at our dam in Central Victoria. There were two of them. Black- fronted Dotterel? But no black front? #birds #birdsinbackyards

The female King (Queen?) Parrot that visited us today is the first one I have seen in this area ( near Bendigo). Maybe blown here by yesterday’s wild winds. Too beautiful. #BirdsSeenIn2024 #WildOz
