Sloshing around muddy edges of fast-receding shallows at Melaleuca viewing area in the Townsville Common Conservation Park lately brought dodgy footing and images, including low overflight by young Brolga - bill much muddied - today.
Down on the 'ground' (mostly mud bounded by thick para grass), solitary Greater Sand Plover highlighted yesterday and today.
More numerous, thinly scattered Sharp-tailed Sandpipers came and went without troubling the plover.
As also did Red-necked Stints, in lower numbers and all flightier than others marching and munching across the mud.
And poised high and dry above it all this morning, Golden-headed Cisticola sings from dead sedge stalk.
