And still at lunch time today.
Very flighty though, and without binoculars I had to
rely more an behaviour and flight style to ID. Any approach to about 50 m and
the bird was off, low over the water, either back to the island, the pontoon, or
around into the other little sandy bay.

The
sandpiper was still in the same area this morning, Alastair Smith had already
found it when we arrived.

Sandpiper at Lake Gininderra
The Wednesday walkers were graced today by a Common Sandpiper
initially on the swiming pontoon at McDermott PLace, Lake Ginninderra.
Later it came and walked, teetering, up and down in front of us. Lindell
Emerton got the attached image and we will get some others from our Coloradan
guests a little later - when he can get access to a suitable computer. The
appropriate message will go to the Rarities Panel rather soon.
When I
have had time to organise myself I'll put up a report about the rest of the
walk.
