Semipalmated Plover Broome Sewage works

[Laurie Knight <>]

G'day,

I posted the link of this observation to Bird Forum 
http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=161523

The one comment I have received so far [from a Canadian] is that the  
call is more diagnostic than the plumage.  Have any of the observers  
heard the bird call, and if so, can they describe the call?
Regards, Laurie.
