I run around Iron Cove regularly.  Bar-tailed Godwit are usually present
- numbers  seem higher in winter.  I've seen very few other waders and
haven't managed to ID any (no binoculars).  Black-winged Stilt, Masked
Lapwing, Silver Gulls and Chestnut Teal commonly accompany the Godwits
Other water birds are there occasionally.  There is an excellent report
on the area's fauna by Dion Hobcroft:
