All,
Went down to Boat Harbour this morning and saw the
Wandering Tattler reported earlier in the week as well as a
single Beach Stone-Curlew - both of these species were seen in
the same scope view and at close range - not bad!
Didn't hear the WT call however did get
great close up views of nasal groove as well as wing length.
Also present was:
Ruddy Turnstone

Pacific-Golden Plover

Lesser Sand-Plover

Red-Necked
Stint c100
Sooty Oystercatcher

and a White-Bellied Sea-Eagle
After Boat Harbour tried looking for the Franklins
Gull around a couple of sites near Little Bay but no luck, then went to Penryn
Road and saw a single White-Winged Black Tern in amoungst 70
odd Common Terns as well as a single Great Knot. Also present
here were:
Bar-Tailed Godwit
