They may disperse, but in my experience most of the waders at Mason Park
are
sedentary for a period there.

There isn't usually much in Hen & Chicken Bay other than Bar-tailed
Godwits
and the other more common waders.

If you want to hook up one morning to go and photograph waders at Mason,
let
me know.
