" there were two ...[Pectoral Sandpipers flagged in Oz].. 
one in 1997 the other Feb 2002. It seems quiet amazing that
the one I recorded here in the Hawkesbury was the one
flagged in 2002 what were the chances of that I wonder."

If that was the only surviving flagged PS the chances of an
Oz-flagged PS being that PS are 100%. 

Of course the other may have survived so let's say 50%.  

About as "amazing" as a spun coin turning up head or tails
rather than on its edge.
