Hi Cheryl

I have strong ideas about most of them but I will have to  be re-united with
my bird  book to be surer.  I am stuck in Kununurra airport waiting for a
delayed plane at the moment and my bird book is already checked in.

The ones I am sure of are 1436 sharp tailed sandpiper
0650/0646/0631 greenshank
But I will get back to you about the others.  By then you will probably be
inundated by solutions.
