Observation details
Lindall Kidd was alerted to the presence of this individual in the area earlier in the day. While watching a SESA newly fitted with a GPS tag, Kidd found this stint in a pond immediately adjacent to the dump entrance. Small, compact size with a short bill that tapered pretty rapidly and drooped at the tip. Pearly white underparts with warm rufousy-orange head and throat. Dark arrowhead streaks on breast providing a band of demarcation between head rufous and white underparts. Warm reddish-gold edging to the upperparts. Whitish wing stripe visible in flight. Pale supercillium. Dark legs. Nice find! Last seen flying into the dump (no public access).
