Hi,
I didn't find the Common Sandpiper in the 45 minutes I was out at
Uriarra Crossing this morning before work. I spent the first half
hour at the sand-bar where the sandpiper has most commonly been seen,
then wandered up-river but without luck.
This makes it two out of four visits this season for which I have NOT
recorded the bird, which I think, from the various reports, is
probably close to the general success rate. When I saw the bird on 8
Jan this year I had been there for 40 minutes before it flew in to
the sand-bar. So I haven't yet given up on the bird still being
around...

ps. On the way there I saw two Yellow-tailed Black-Cockatoos fly
across Tuggeranong Parkway near Heysen St (Weston), and there were
two pairs out at the Crossing.
