Unususal Flag/band combinations at the Western Treatment Plant today

[Paul Hackett <>]

Hi All,

I visited the Western Treatment Plant at Werribee, Victoria today and 
noticed a couple of unusual Flag/band combinations on a couple of Waders.
A Sharp-tailed Sandpiper had, Right Leg: Tibia: Black Flag over White 
Flag - Left leg: Tibia: Black Band. I believe this bird may have been 
banded in mainland China. Can anyone confirm this? The other bird seen 
had Right Leg: Tibia Orange Flag over Yellow Flag - Left leg none. The 
closest I could find was South Australia?? Some photos of both birds can 
be seen at m("N05/sets/72157608259561888/","//www.flickr.com/photos/7116052");">http:
Any assistance would be appreciated so I can report the bands to the 
relevant organizations
Cheers, Paul
