However, in the case of Whimbrels its very frustrating as its almost impossible to get a complete count - and its hardly fair to make them fly just to count them.mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-38043932985726083122008-12-12T13:58:00.000+10:002008-12-12T13:58:00.000+10:00Another nice one Mick, with photos showing waders ...Another nice one Mick, with photos showing waders roosting where we southerners never see them.Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12182951711946882353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-34923043384283674442008-12-12T04:34:00.000+10:002008-12-12T04:34:00.000+10:00Hi Denis, this is the preferred roost for these tw...Hi Denis, this is the preferred roost for these two species, however on lower tides I do find them on sand bank roosts.mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-12575436509103358902008-12-12T00:20:00.000+10:002008-12-12T00:20:00.000+10:00Hi MickInteresting to see "waders" not wading, but...Hi Mick<BR/>Interesting to see "waders" not wading, but perched in the mangroves.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>DenisDenis Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10031115992910569116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-21959163074701760642008-12-11T20:32:00.000+10:002008-12-11T20:32:00.000+10:00I agree about the outboards - although its a big b...I agree about the outboards - although its a big bay down this end and not as popular as up around Inskip Point.
