Hi everybody -

Ian Temby just asked me to post a sighting to Birding-Aus that may be of
interest to people in Melbourne for the coming weekend.  He saw a Common
Sandpiper at 1:45 PM today at the end of Francis Street, Yarraville,
feeding on the rocks on the bank of the Yarra.  I realise that this
sighting is not in quite the same league as a vagrant Galapagos Penguin or
Ross's Gull.  Does anyone have any comments on how common Common Sandpipers
are around Port Phillip Bay?

Cheers,
Hugo
