Barney Enders 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.
