18.01.2022 Shorebird profile: COMMON SANDPIPER Actitis hypoleucos... Scolopacidae A small migratory shorebird found breeding from Europe across to Asia and southern Siberia and spending the non-breeding season in Africa, Middle East, Asia, New Guinea and Australia. In the East Asian-Australasian Flyway, the Common Sandpiper is found in riverbanks, meadows, ponds, shorelines and harbours. It is plain brown above with a distinctive white wedge at the bend of the wing. Has a clean white belly. The Common Sandpiper bobs its tail almost constantly and this feature can be used to help identify this species from other small shorebirds. This photo was taken in Katherine Gorge, a freshwater gorge in the Northern Territory Australia. Photo credit: Amanda Lilleyman

16.01.2022 News from our friends from the Queensland Wader Study Group

16.01.2022 We work closely with BirdLife Australia to protect and conserve migratory shorebirds in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. The National Migratory Shorebird Conservation Action Plan (MS CAP) has been developed by a broad range of stakeholders who are working in shorebird conservation and management across Australia and the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF). Led by BirdLife Australia, the MS CAP is improving coordination and collaboration on conservation actions for the 37 species of migratory shorebirds that regularly visit Australia across the range of stakeholders that contribute to migratory shorebird conservation, management and research. https://birdlife.org.au//migratory-shorebird-conservation-

Talk about two ultimate holiday destinations in one vacation! #flyawaysg #flyawaygame #boardgamegeek #madeinSG #birdlifeinternational #gamersofSG #birdmigration #migration #ourplanetdaily #migratorybirds

13.01.2022 STILT Stilt is the scientific journal of the Australasian Wader Studies Group and as of 2020, was still the only journal servicing wader research for both professionals and amateurs in the East Asian-Australasian Flyway. It was traditionally produced as two issues a year, which changed in 2017 due to a lack of submissions. The single issue is published in November of each year. Our journal Stilt has a new Editorial Board. Please welcome:... Imogen Warren, Editor in Chief Judit Szabo, Science Editor Nancy Van Nieuwenhove, Production Editor Danny Rogers, Editorial Board Zhijun Ma, Editorial Board Phil Battley, Editorial Board Marcel Klaassen, Editorial Board Jimmy Choi, Editorial Board Birgita Hansen, Editorial Board Amanda Lilleyman, Editorial Board Sora Estrella, Editorial Board Micha Jackson, Editorial Board #shorebirds #waders
