Jill,
Purple Sandpipers used to roost on the slipway of the rescue boat at
Bembridge on the Isle of Wight in Britain. The members were always trying to
raise funds but could not believe me when I said that birders would pay for
the chance to get close to these birds.
Regards,
Alan

Subject: Shorebirds roosting on concrete walls
Hi Everyone,
Please, I need information if you could take a moment to think.
Does anyone know of a situation where coastal migratory shorebird flocks
roost regularly on cement structures, as in a sea wall or revetment
wall? It doesn't have to be in Australia, although that would be better
if possible.
If there is such a situation, the next thing I would like to know, if
possible, is which species are prepared to stand on concrete.
Taking the question further, I would like to hear from people who know
of shorebirds roosting on other artificial structures or surfaces. I'm
not asking about birds like cormorants or pelicans, rather, migratory
shorebirds.
The answers may help in informing for an upcoming proposed artificial
roost. And no, I am NOT building another artificial roost, not me. The
politics of the last one turned me into an old woman.
Cheers,
Jill
