Flagged Pied Oystercatcher - SE Qld

[Laurie Knight <>]

Fascinating.  I photographed a Pied Oystercatcher with a pale yellow  
flag on its left leg at the Manly wader roost this morning, only this  
one was marked C1. I must say that I have never seen this flag colour  
in SEQ before.  Has a group in Northern NSW recently started to flag  
birds with this colour?
Regards, Laurie.
