Hirundapus caudacutus White-throated needletail Motacilla flava Yellow wagtail
Unlikely to occur Habitat within the project area is considered marginal for the species. The nearest historical record occurs approximately 71 km west of the project area from 1905 (DETSI, 2025). Considering this, the species is considered unlikely to occur within the project area.

Numenius madagascariensis Eastern curlew Pandion haliaetus Osprey
Unlikely to occur Habitat within the project area is considered marginally suitable for the species. The nearest verified record is approximately 21 km northeast of the site, dated 1997 (DETSI, 2025). Due to the distance to the nearest record and proximity to the coast, this species is considered unlikely to occur within the project area. Highly unlikely to occur
PMST, WO
The species occur in littoral and coastal habitats and terrestrial wetlands of tropical and temperate Australia and offshore islands. They are mostly found in coastal areas but occasionally travel inland along major rivers. They require extensive areas of open fresh, brackish or saline water for foraging (DAWE 2022x).
Within the range and widespread (mapped as likely to occur in SPRAT)
