Goolwa and Crested Tern

Marianne and I spent the day at Goolwa looking for waders but didn’t have a great deal of success save for a few sightings of Bar-tailed Godwit, Red-necked Stint and a few Common Greenshank. On the way down there we detoured via Point Sturt and along a back road, where we came across 50-80 or so juvenile Welcome Swallow resting on the fence line or in the middle of the track itself. It was odd to see a single Tree Martin and a lone Fairy Martin mixed in amongst them.
