A few people have asked about my pictures - they are unedited, uncropped, 
unprocessed, and up here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrtroy/ to get to the 
full view, click on it, click all sizes, and there's an assortment of sizes 
there.

Cheers
Troy

Hi everyone,

It was still there this morning on a low tide, seen by myself and another 
birder, Chris. As Tun Pin says, it is not showing any signs of breeding 
plumage. There was a total of 14 obvious PGP's and the mystery bird. I'll post 
a picture later and send a link to anyone interested. I won't be able to get 
back there for about 8-9 days, but watching the cycle of breeding plumage among 
the PGP's and Turnstones is quite interesting at the moment.

Also present were a pair of Double-banded Plovers, the first ones I've seen 
there this year. Last week there was at least 15 Ruddy Turnstones, today there 
was only 4-5. Similarly, last week there was a number of RN Stints colouring 
up, but I couldn't find any in any sort of colour today.

Cheers
Troy

I saw and photographed it last weekend, and I'm going to have another look for 
it early tomorrow.

Cheers
Troy
