Re the below, a volley of shots near
the target but no bullseye. It is so important to keep Canberra
birdwatchers on their toes, I always say. This is all you might see
of the bird from the hide, when Ian Fraser walks in and says ‘Anything
around?’, and you turn to him to say ‘Yes, there’s an unusual
wader out there near the pelican’ and when you look back it’s gone,
never to be seen again. I have added a hint below.

Can anyone identify this? It is on the ACT list and in
the Taylor/Day guide.
