Hi Colin, you query frequency of observations of Masked Lapwing on Ashmore Reef where migrants to and from Australia may be encountered. I know of only one record and that was in back in 1997. We've never seen one on the almost annual Kimberley Birdwatching trips in spring neither have we on the now biannual Monash University Monitoring Surveys. So they are rare.
