Sun 25 Mar	Intermediate Egret Canning Wetlands, Western Australia Debbie Walker and myself found an Intermediate Egret in a billabong area near the Liege St Boardwalk of Canning Wetlands. According to Pam and George Agar that is the first sighting in this area. Alan Galbraith per BirdsWA
	Australian Hobby Port Kennedy Scientific Park, Western Australia Sitting out well early this morning. Also small flock of Red-capped Parrots. Gary Stevens
Thu 22 Mar	White Wagtail Scenic Drive, Lake Joondalup, Western Australia Wayne Merritt has seen a White Wagtail on the east side of Lake Joondalup, along Scenic Drive, on the shore near the cricket pitch. Wayne Merritt per John Graff (via BirdsWA)
Tue 20 Mar	Streaked Shearwater Lawlers Mine, Western Australia A Streaked Shearwater turned up at Lawlers Mine, just south west of Leinster in WA, no doubt blown in by the Cat 4 cyclone of Broome. Not all that unheard of...but ironically a Sooty Tern was located at almost the same spot 2 hours later! The Tern is not in the best of shape, but the shearwater has been placed on a plane for Perth. Mark Sanders per Birding-Aus
