Subject: Oriental Plovers near Price SA
Hello again
Unfortunately I was unable to locate the Oriental Plovers today. I
visited the area twice. At 11.00 there were many Banded Plover but
nothing else. At 17.30 on my second visit, 15 Golden Plover were found
roosting among the undulating samphire about 300 metres south of
yesterdays OP site but nothing else to report. I will have another
look tomorrow but it looks like they may have moved on.
Regards
Ian May
