Today, by Port Phillip Bay beneath the Beaumaris Monocline - its usual local haunt, I saw a Common Sandpiper. Presumably this was a returning migrant but the date (24th August) is the earliest I know for Victoria and I haven't heard of them over-wintering (although Tony Russell sees them in winter at the Penrice saltfields in Adelaide). Did anyone check if Ian Temby's record of one in Yarraville on 5th May this year, repored by Hugo Phillips, was the latest Victorian warmer months date for the species ?
