Saw these birds at the Alice Springs Water Treatment Plant (Poo Ponds) last week. The Avocets have grown in number whereas the Hardheads seemed to have reduced in number. The Grey Teals are probably the most prolific for the time I have been observing here, and the Pacific Black Ducks often catch my eye due to their size, and then their beautiful fluorescent coloured wings when they fly:

also had a lovely close-up view of a Black-fronted Dotterel:
Happy Birding!
Great photos Richard! I love the close up of the Black-fronted Dotterel, what a beautiful bird! The pair of Avocets in flight is beautiful too!
