I have seen only two Common Sandpipers in
SEQ, both on the Redcliffe Peninsula. One was feeding by itself on the sides of
a narrow man-made channel through mangroves at Redcliffe airfield, ie on mud.
The second was on large boulders on the side of the main boating canal from
Deception Bay into Newport Waters (a Gold Coast-like canal development which has
successfully stuffed prime birding habit at Scarborough, including clay pans,
meleluca wetland eyc.)
These sites are within a kilometer of each
other and separated on the seaward side by extensive mud flats at low
tide.Perhaps they use both??
