Pectoral Sandpipers on Ash Island, Newcastle, NSW

[Mick Roderick <>]

Hi all,

Over the past 3 days there have been up to 3 Pectoral Sandpipers on Ash Island, 
on the eastern edge of Swan Pond (email me direct if you want directions). 
Views were complicated today by the presence of 5 immature Sea Eagles that 
seemed to be stirring the 100's of birds there for the sake of it. There are 
over a 1000 Teal (mainly Chestnut), about 300 BwStilt, up to 1000 Welcome 
Swallows, a few Avocet, Marshies, Greenshank, Curlew Sands as well - the place 
is jumping (alas no Wagtails...we'll have to wait to snag that Weribee one on 
it's way back).
