Long-toed stint ID was based on yellow-green legs and tall, unusual  
posture. Not associating with Red-necks up the beach.
Possible Pectoral ID was based on long bill (obvious on Green Island  
bird) and clean breast demarcation (obvious on Cairns bird). However  
I agree about the red crown being more characteristic  of a Sharpie.  
I would value comments from knowledgeable wader-watchers.
Both Cairns birds were at the far northern end of the esplanade at  
high tide on Tuesday 30th.
