Hello one and all,

While banding waders at Werribee this past weekend four Banded Lapwings landed 
in the catching area on one of the islets present in the lagoons.
Presumably pushed off the Avalon airstrip or surrounding fields with the air 
show.   Thought it may be of interest to some.   Needless to say we waited 
patiently for Curlew Sands to arrive, our target species, resisting any 
temptation to catch the lapwings, and were duly rewarded with a small catch of 
CuSa's
an hour later.  The lapwings had since departed !

Good birding,

Paul
