Strange looking Pied Oystercatcher sitting amongst Golden plovers and 
Bar-tailed godwits on Friday at Shoalhaven Heads, NSW, east of Nowra.  Seemed 
to have short legs. long thin bill and extra white in the wings.  may be SIPO.  
There has been up to 15 Pieds roosting in the area at high tide over the last 
week including two juveniles.

Shoalhaven Heads is great at the moment with up to 300 Golden Plovers amongst 
the masses of shorebirds preparing for their northerly migration.  many of the 
Golden plovers are comming into breeding plumage.

come and support the new shorebird protection zone and interp area.  The more 
birdwatchers the less dogs.

cheers
