g'day all,

 

Some years ago a writer to Birding-Aus postulated that all Waders are actually the one species !

.. but there are many races ! !

(can anyone find that posting in the archives ?)

 

Seriously, ID of a Waders is a challenge.

I have started a simple ID comparison table for a range of Waders seen in Qld.

It is size sequence for a start !

 

Please contact me for a copy. I am seeking feedback from the experts out in civilisation.

It is in Microsoft Word format.
