Yeah, me too Mike. There is a search facility into which I put
Broad-billed Sandpiper and no less than 54 came up! I wonder which one
patrick was referring to.??

Subject: ID request: Broad-billed Sandpiper/Dunlin
This exercise shows just how hopeless I am at negotiating web-pages
which is
why I rarely visit them! I couldn't find any shot labelled Broad-billed
Sandpiper! I did find one of a Curlew Sandpiper correctly labelled as
such.
A Dunlin at Cairns would be very exciting. Less than a handful of
records in
the whole of Australia. Perhaps that was the shot originally titled
Broad-billed Sandpiper relabelled as a result of Chris Corben's ID
advice.
And relevant to recent discussions, it also shows why BARC is essential.
While searching for it I did find two other ID errors but I'd be
interested
to know if others agree. I'd say the Sacred Kingfisher is a Forest and
the
Black-naped Terns are Little Terns. In my experience the incidence of ID
errors is disturbingly high on web-sites.
