I agree that none of the birds in the images taken at Wollumboola are Greaters.
Bird 1 would be the only 'candidate' but I still think it is a Lesser.
Last Friday (23rd) when we were down at the site, there were 5 Lessers and no
Greaters.

G'day Harvey et al.
All the photos on your blog look like Lessers with the exception of a couple at
the far bottom photo (which I don't think is from the lake?)
There was at least one Greater Sand at the lake when I was there on 14th Jan,
but I only saw Lessers on the 16th
Cheers,
John
