Hi all,
I don't wish to doubt Edwin's extraordinary report
of not just one, but two Kentish Plovers at Old Bar near Taree in NSW. However,
since at least two dozen birders have now visited the site in the past fortnight
and only reported the one bird, from as recently as early this (Tuesday)
morning, it does appear very odd. It is quite possible that all of us have
been caught out, and Edwin has just looked a little more carefully than
the rest of us! (Knowing Edwin, I wouldn't be surprised.)
Still, it remains for anyone still planning to
twitch these birds to help verify Edwin's sighting. Edwin, could you give
further details in the meantime?
Cheers, AS
