Marion met us at the airport and took us to the Kedron Brook Wetlands where we saw many water birds - Grey and Chestnut Teal among the more common species of duck, the usual ibis, Australian Pelicans, Black-winged Stilts, Yellow-billed Spoonbill - and also three species of kite - Black-shouldered, Whistling and Brahminy.

Having failed to get our target bird we then stopped bu Dowse Lagoon in Sandgate where we found the two Freckled Ducks that had been reported there. This was my second lifer of 2013. A Comb-crested Jacana and a group of Pink-eared Ducks were the other highlights of this stop.
