Until now I had been only 90% sure regarding the identity of the Ringed-type
Plover at the Broome Sewage Works. Having just received some excellent
photographs taken on 8 February, I am now firmly in the camp which says that
it is 100% a Semi-palmated Plover. In my opinion, these photos show the
partial webbing between the outer and middle toe (extends about one quarter
length of middle toe) as well as the minute flange between the middle and
inner toe.
Adrian Boyle tells me that the bird hasn't been seen since 11 February but
because it has a history of intermittent appearance since its discovery last
October, it may well reappear.
