A look around the ponds on Cape Pembroke this evening produced a nice pair of Yellow Billed Pintail along with the usual Speckled & Silver Teal.

Yellow Billed Pintail are the rarest breeding species of wildfowl in the Islands.

Around Yorke Bay pond there were Rufous Chested Dotterel, Two Banded Plover with Young, and Magellanic Snipe & Lots of White Rumped Sandpipers. There has been a White Tufted Grebe there for the last few weeks it has been joined by a second bird and they have built a nest by the edge of the pond, this is the first time that I have seen White Tufted Grebe attempting to nest in the Stanley area.
