Hi,
For the benefit of those who might want more information about this bird, we've
mapped the location at http://www.bird-o.com/. We've also uploaded photos of
varying plumages and a description of some of the more obvious field characters
to look for to separate this species from Australian shorebirds.
Regards,
Simon Mustoe.
