Certainly that seems a good count of DBP. In 2004, we had 180 of them
recorded in Fullerton Cove in the Hunter estuary (Newcastle NSW) on both
2 & 5 Jun, and 80-100 birds often in the remainder of the month and in
early Jul. Those numbers are by far the greatest we've had locally in a
very long time.

On Fri June 15 a flock of 170 Double-banded Plovers at a High Tide roost
on S Stradbrke Isalnd - Qld. We feel this is a large group for this
species although we did find a flock 30 at the same location om May 1st.
20-30% of the birds were showing the full double band.
Cannot find any records for such a large congregation on the East
coast.
The sighting resulted from a new monthly Wader Monitoring project for S
Stradbroke Island. This is a joint project between Gold Coast CC and
QWSG.
