Un- Common Sandpiper at Lake Gininderra

["Sue Lashko" <>]

At 4 this afternoon it was at Nengi Bamir Beach at the western end of Diddams Close, off Ginninderra Drive.  Very unsettled, on the beach feeding among the lake weed, then on rocks, out to the point, back to the beach, then onto a grassy edge.

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

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.
