Chris, the Double-banded Plover sighting is
normal for this time of year. It hasn't stayed here. I had one on my
last Noosa survey on Feb 16. There are always a few early arrivals.
Cheers,

Hi all,
Took advantage of a huge tide today to head out looking for shorebirds.
Bird numbers were at an all-time high with many thousands of birds at the
Manly roost. The standout bird was a single Double-banded Plover in
non-breeding plumage. Not sure if this is an early arrival or an
over-summering bird that hadn't been detected til now but either way it is a
pretty good bird for February. Two Grey Plovers, and a host of birds in
stunning breeding plumage made this a great morning.
Regards,
Chris
