Hi,
Looking at the BARC website, reading case 382, shows that
there has only been 6 BARC accepted sightings of the
BB Sandpiper and two under review. (cases 416 and 435).
Isnt that low enough for it to be considered a very rare
vagrant? I guess BARC isn't as useful a resource as the
only shows 3 confirmed mainland (including Tassie)
sightings of King Penguins. Do kingies show up in the
atlas?
Regards,
Vin.
