You should join the AWSG wader banding expedition to Anna Plains
Station and 80 Mile Beach.  We have seen up to 40,000.

They are relatively easy to find on the beaches in Broome soon after they
arrive in late September and October.  Once they move out on to the
plains they can be harder to find, but you would normally see some out
the back of the Broome Bird Observatory when going out on to Roebuck
Plain to see the Yellow Chats.
