Fri 14 Nov Pectoral Sandpiper Dowse Lagoon, Sandgate
Dark streaks on the breast with a strong demarcation, often adopting an
upright, rather elegant stance, seemed somewhat nervous - frequently
looking to the sky. Second visit to confirm ID in the afternoon showed
obvious yellow/orange colour to the base of the bill. Hanging out with
a small number of Sharpies and Curlew Sandpipers. Water in the middle
of the lagoon has all dried up, the bird was located in front of the
island, on the edge of the body of water that passes in front of the
island. Best viewed from the east in front of the railings, or from the
Keogh St side.
