Sharp-tailed sandpipers
We were pleased to be able to log 9 sharp-tailed sandpipers in the annual "Aussie Bird Count" today.
The migratory birds have arrived. Along with the sandpipers (flown in from Siberia), we also saw godwits and curlews. The sharp-tailed sandpipers breed in the Siberian summer then migrate to Australia to avoid the cold winter.
