Hello,

I decided to go see what was around the Melbourne / Pinkney's Pt. area  
during my lunch break. The tide was high, so I didn't expect to see  
too much as any shorebirds would have gone to roost.

At the end of the Beveridge Road I found 2 Willet; 6 Greater  
Yellowlegs; and 32 Short-billed Dowitchers. At Cook's Beach there was  
only 1 Black-bellied Plover.

On my way out I witnessed a Merlin chasing a Killdeer. The Killdeer  
managed to evade the attack.
