Just came back from high tide down at the Breamlea Estuary near Geelong, Victoria.

There were large numbers of plovers combing the seaweed, including large numbers of non-breeding and juvenile Double Banded Plovers(probably 15-20), lots of Red Capped Plovers and 4 Hooded Plovers, including one juvenile hooded.

The highlight was a single Sanderling feeding with the red necked stints.  It was flagged with a orange flag below, and yellow flag above, on its right leg.

There were quiet a few beach washed birds too, including a Gannet, Shearwater, and Storm Petrel.
