That photo and the pelican photo in part #3, were the only ones taken at the same location, but in September 2013 (all others early December 2013). In September I was with a birding group and standing at a great distance from the big dairy swamp edge where the Pectoral Sandpiper and Stilts etc. were fossicking. Leaders in the group debated long and hard through their binoculars, as to which bird it was, until, the colour of the legs determined ...'you're lucky to see this one everyone, it IS a rare find, the Pectoral Sandpiper". Quite the buzz for us all on the day. Good pickup David, thanks for asking. I'd not have been able to identify it myself.Carole M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13261384312136535762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048648545129425244.post-34292749851304666692013-12-30T07:56:16.065+11:002013-12-30T07:56:16.065+11:00Your bird pictures are always good but I like the ...Your bird pictures are always good but I like the old twisted tree.<br />Merle..................Merlesworldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00573975763012762631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048648545129425244.post-76477686515933593362013-12-30T07:12:51.684+11:002013-12-30T07:12:51.684+11:00Nice shots, Carole!
