Folks,

I was down at Penrhyn from 6.15 to about 7.45 - no Golden Plovers around
at high tide. There was though a Pied Oystercatcher (an occasional
visitor only).

I met Simon Blanchflower (who was there at 6am) and David Mitford (who's
coming back around high tide). I'm going down again about 1.30pm, with
high tide about 2.15pm.

For those who wish to understand the difficulties of ID and reliable
field indicators please look up the attached paper, which ends "...some
of the latter (questionable plovers in non-breeding plumage) will be
impossible to identify with certainty." Morphometric features of Pacific
and American Golden-Plovers with comments on field identification OSCAR

Cheers,
