Hello Robert, With John Harris I did see what we decided was a SIPO at Manly Boat Harbour (20th December 1999). Everything about it was 'a bit'. It was a bit smaller, its bill was a bit longer- definetly the longest in the flock, its legs were a bit shorter- its knees seemed to just clear its belly, and it held its body a bit more horizontal while walking. It did not vary this pattern of 'different' walking movement and the birds did move about somewhat. It was always a bit different. This bird was with a flock of about 20 OZPO's and, as the flock milled about and relative positions changed, I felt it kept itself to the outer edge of the main bunch. Hope this helps. Regards, Ros Laundon.
