The WTP (or Western Treatment Plant) is located south of Melbourne between Werribee and Geelong in Victoria. The coastal location of the plant, mixed with the large number of inland lagoons, swamps and lakes, means its an ideal habitat for migratory waders. Every so often, uncommon species turn up, (spotted by keen eyed birdwatchers), and a procession of 'twitchers' turn up to see the visitors. When such a species does, i often try to photograph the bird to document the occassion (and get a photo of a species that i'd normally have to travel, sometimes overseas, for.) Below are links to slideshows of rare or uncommon species that i've photographed over the last few years.
