G'day birders, had a great morning at Shoalhaven
Heads today with Chris Dwyer who was also visiting the area - some really
good numbers of waders, in fact the highest counts that I have had at this
location, particularly for Eastern Curlew which totalled
53!
Waders present were as follows:
Bar-Tailed Godwit
500+
Eastern Curlew
53
Red Knot
8
Great
Knot
1
Sharp-Tailed Sandpiper
40
Red-Necked Stint
300+
Pacific-Golden Plover
40
Curlew
Sandpiper 1
Lesser
Sandplover 2
Pied Oystercatcher
2
Red-Capped Plover
36
Other birds present included a single
Caspian Tern with a number of Common, Little and
Crested Terns, plus the usual suspects including a number of
White-Fronted Chats and the odd Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoo
overhead.
Didn't see the Broad-Billed Sandpiper reported
earlier unfortunately despite a thorough search.
Cheers
Simon.
