Hi all,

I went out to Uriarra Crossing briefly this morning before work to see if the Common Sandpiper is still there - it is. I had excellent views of it through the scope, from both banks of the river and in good sunlight. I'm still keen to get a better idea than we currently have on when this bird departs. Last year I think the latest record of it was in late January, so today's sighting already extends that time. I suspect it may well be around until well into March so if anyone else is also interested in keeping tabs on this bird I'd be glad to hear of any reports. I'll be writing up a brief report for Canberra Bird Notes later.

Harvey
