Dear Tun-Ping Ong,
I don't have your email address because a friend forwarded your message from
Birding-Aus (I don't subscribe). Most of the Double-banded Plovers you saw
were probably banded by Sally Weekes when she worked at NPWS. Your sightings
will be of special interest to Geoff Ross at NPWS, so any photos and notes
you took would be interesting. Could you send any images you have plus any
other details to me, cc. Geoff Ross . I am not
sure the NPWS email will accept photos (in which case I will pass them on).
You are right in that the colour combinations are not part of the East
Asian-Australasian Flyway colour scheme because DBPs do not migrate past
Australia from NZ.

Double-Banded Plovers at Penrhyn Estuary, Sydney
Hi,
Today 2.45pm I went to Penrhyn Estuary to quick check
on Double-Banded Plovers. I was not disappointed with
good views of about 30 of them. What became more
interesting was several of them were actually banded
and with many kinds of banding combination. Some with Yelow-Red-Metal,
Black-Metal, Double-Red. (I have digital photos of some of them)
As this is my first time seeing Double-banded Plover,
and don't know much about the banding practice for
this species, could someone point me to any reference
on the banding information? I suppose the banding
protocol for Double-banded Plover does not follow
those migratory birds in East Asian-Australasian
Flyway.
There were also 1 Pacific Golden Plover, 3 Red-necked
Stints and 50 Bar-tailed Godwit. These were obviously overstayers.
Penrhyn Estuary has been 'developed' since I last
visited last year october. I wonder how bad it is
going to become in future.
