Hi all
Walking on the spit at Augusta WA (near the river mouth) on 29th February
08 we saw a group of 42 Sanderling feeding in heaps of kelp and other debris
on the sand. One bird had two flags on the right leg -orange upper and off
white lower. Is this a Broome banded bird? We watched the bird for 10-15
minutes but could not see any leg band or numbers on the flags.
Incidentally there was another Sanderling with its right leg missing.
On the same walk we also saw a double-banded plover lurking high on the
beach near the dunes. (all this despite the number of dog walkers very close
by)
I don't get much wireless broadband coverage here, so this is the first time
I have been able to post anything
