Hi all.
Rob Benson, Margaret Reidy and I flew down from Sydney to Werribee on
Wednesday and spent the day from about 9:00 am to 6:30 pm checking out
the T section ponds 5, 6 and 7 as well As the Austin Rd pond 2 for the
Stilt Sandpiper. While we had great views of the Ruff, the Stilt
Sandpiper didn't show. There were a couple of 2 to 3 Red Knots, 2 to 3
Sharp-tailed Sandpipers, 100 plus Curlew Sandpipers as well as
Greenshanks, Marsh Sandpipers and Red-necked Stints.
We met a few other birders there, in particular Rob Quinan from Dubbo
who had been there since Monday without sighting the Stilt Sandpiper.
I note that the Stilt Sandpiper was seen yesterday on pond 6. The Ruff
was good though.
Happy(ier) birding.
