Hello,

I went to eat my lunch today at the Beveridge Road in Melbourne. It  
was high tide and just starting to go down when I got there. It was a  
high course tide too, so there were alot of sparrows along the road.  
Nothing unusual. There was a flicker atop a small spruce tree and a  
few GW teals that flew by. There was also a GB Heron and 2 Gr.  
Yellowlegs in the small ponds just when you turn on the road.

I continued to Cook's Beach in Pinkney's Pt. to see what was around.  
On the way there were 12 Turkey Vultures and a Northern Harrier. I  
counted 10 more Gr. Yellowlegs in the ponds. At Cook's Beach there  
were 4 BB Plovers along with at least 30 SP Plovers. There were a few  
other shorebirds too... 8 SP Sandpipers, 2 Sanderlings, and 1 White  
Rumped Sanpiper. There were likely more nestled in among the beach  
stones.
