Fri 5 Dec Pectoral Sandpiper Dowse Lagoon, Sandgate
Pectoral still here this morning. It is still wary, but, seemed more
relaxed. Probably because it was hanging around with 8 Sharp-tailed
Sandpipers. Didn't see the Wood Sandpiper, but, a bloke I met leaving
when I arrived said they were both here this morning. Photo has been
cropped a little and I was using the 100x Digital on the Canon SX50HS
to get the photos. If you want to see the originals and some more
before and after photos just click on the link below.
