    Details

    Small flock in the main lagoon was a total surprise. Present both days, could be late migrants or perhaps wintering birds. Additional notes from field sketches - black underwings, rather than white, to separate from BTGO. Otherwise, typical basic type plumage with white/whitish rump (in flight), white bellied, gray chested, large shorebird with long pink and black bill. Pale wing stripe visible when birds raised wings and flew several times.

    Seemingly in morning flight, these birds were presumably recently arrived late migrants?
