Robin,

Looks more like a Red-necked Stint. Sharp-tailed Sandpipers have a distinctly rufous crown and darker underparts with some faint streaking. It is a bit hard to see the bill in this bird but that is not necessarily a diagnostic feature.

Cheers,

Mark

Seen at the Fyshwick Sewage Ponds this morning, this single small (dotterel size)? wading bird at the far side of Pond 7.
Extreme distance so poor photo- I thought a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, but...?

FSP

At Fulica Hide, 5 Nankeen Night Herons in sight enjoying the warm spring sun.
