Grey Phalarope . Mike Lawrie found a Grey Phalarope on the Greenough River at Geraldton, WA, yesterday afternoon and it was still there this morning. Photos confirm the ID. He is willing to show people the bird. His email is mikeclawrie@yahoo.com.au If accepted by BARC it will be their fifth for Australia but I think there is one other record. It will be the first for WA but two previous reports were not accepted as was another from Christmas Island. [Note: the site is accessed from the Brand Highway, about 15km south of Geradlton. The turn off is a gravel road about 1-3km north of the right hand turnoff into West Bank Road. If you're coming from the north, it isn't signposted. On the right hand side, there is a sign advertising Royce Timber Works. Continue down this gravel track to the car park then follow the trail up the farm paddock fence. It's a 2-3 km walk to the spot where the bird was seen: S 28 53.645 | E 114 40.543 - per Bird-o.com.] Site:Greenough River, Geraldton. Obs
