Morning all!
Had a quick ½ hr this am at Mason Park. As well as the usual 2 Pacific
Golden Plover, many Sharpies and Curlew Sandpipers was a single non-breeding
Pectoral Sandpiper. It was noticed first by its ?deep Budgie? call as it
chased off Sharpies from its patch, before pitching up on to a slight rise
giving a great front-on view. The clear cut-off on the chest was obvious as
was the little dark V in the middle. Its bill had the usual long yellowish
base. It had a noticeably long neck (reminding me of Ruff) as it craned over
vegetation to keep an eye on me.
Toodlepip!
