RE: Strange Pacific Golden Plover at Boat Harbour, Sydney

Hi Troy & Tun Pin,

I was also at Boat Harbour this morning and got one reasonable photo of the
possible American Golden Plover. You can see a photo of it here:

I am also pretty sure it is AGP.

Cheers,

Jon Irvine

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
