I agree that none of the birds in the images taken at Wollumboola are Greaters. 
Bird 1 would be the only 'candidate' but I still think it is a Lesser. 
Last Friday (23rd) when we were down at the site, there were 5 Lessers and no 
Greaters.

G'day Harvey et al.

All the photos on your blog look like Lessers with the exception of a couple at 
the far bottom photo (which I don't think is from the lake?)

There was at least one Greater Sand at the lake when I was there on 14th Jan, 
but I only saw Lessers on the 16th

Cheers,
John
