Hi,a note that the gull and dowitcher are still visible at the esplenade and
when i most recently looked (last friday at about 1630 at a roost on the
northern end of the esplenade), both the dowitcher and a broad billed sandpiper
were hanging out with a flock of about 150 shorebirds (including black and bar
tailed godwits, curlew sandpipers, whimbrel, curlews, red necked stints, lesser
and greater sand plovers and grey tailed tattlers). the large numbers of people
around made for restless shorebirds, but nonetheless myself and four other
birders got brilliant views of the dowitcher and broadbilled.Also, many pied
imperial pigeons around the place at the moment and a group of 5 fig parrots
feeding in a fruiting fig on the esplenade as well.Finally, a male satin
flycatcher is hanging around Low Isles at the moment (we found him sitting in a
frangipani under the lighthouse a few hours ago).Cheers,D
