G'day,
I was having a look through some of the digital shots I took at
Deception Bay on Sunday, and am puzzled by the identity of the waders
in two of them. I was just trying the camera out at the time, and took
a quick shot of what I thought were stints at the time. However, when
I blew them up on the screen, they have some reddish colouring/bands
across their breasts and undertail coverts. I couldn't find any
suitable suspects in my field guides and sent an image to ozbirdpix.
Bob Inglis thought they might be red knots [though you wouldn't expect
them to be colouring up at this time]. Anyhow, I have mastered the art
of reducing the jpgs to 50kb, and so can email a couple of shots to
anyone who is interested in wader ID.
Regards, Laurie.
