Can anyone provide banding details of the following birds, reported by Bob
Murphy of Townsville.


Intermediate / Great Egret with blue tabs in both wings, no. 468 on one of
the tabs.  Seen at Ross River Dam, Townsville - 18/4 

Wollongong: on sandbanks where Lake Illawarra drains into the sea: a banded
Kelp Gull with white over orange rings on right lower leg; blue over
aluminium on 
left lower leg.  28/3 

Other sightings in general area: several Double-banded Plovers in
non-breeding plumage and a possible Little Stint with an orange ring above
left knee joint. The bird was being chased by a Red-capped plover which
looked considerably larger than the Stint. 

Cheers
