No sign of the Northern shoveler, or any chestnut teal type birds on Tip Lagoon the evening of Tuesday 13th, but 4 Chestnut breasted Shelducks were showing well. One beautiful male, two females and a Juvenile male. Thanks for the show around Paul and Sean!

Hi all,
Matt Jones has just sent a message to say that the drake Northern Shoveler and 5 Chestnut-breasted Shelducks were present this morning. The shoveler brought up 150 species for his trip.
Yesterday's Stewart pelagic had 19 tubenose species!
cheers
