at Fyshwick Sewage Ponds [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

["Perkins, Harvey" <>]

The Wood Sandpiper drew me out to Fyshwick at lunch time; took about 30 minutes to locate and I, Roger W, Alastair S and Milburn got good views of it. It tends to be by itself rather than with the sharpies (of which I saw only 5); and I only located 1 Red-necked Stint.

Geoff – that’s starting to look more like a Wood Sandpiper (although the front-on angle makes it difficult to see the wing patterning, and the bill looks fairly long).

Yes  -  a closer look today showed about a dozen sharpies and 2 stints  -  and can you identify the 4 birds in this cropped but unedited snap ….
