Hello Michael,
I'm sure that what Keith meant was that it was amazing that he saw ANY
Pectoral Sandpipers that had been flagged when there are a total of 2 that
have been flagged in Australia.
I must say I agree- it is amazing! Well done Keith.
Cheers

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.
