Bad luck John :( I'm planning another try for the Stilt sandpiper next Friday
(14th) when Sue Lashko and I (and possibly one or two others) will fly down
from Canberra for the day. I would appreciate continuing updates on the Stilt
sandpiper and other waders being posted on this list, or directly to me.
Thanks
Regards
Frank Antram
