Thanks Andrew,

The Site took a while to load but was worth it. I find it interesting that
dogs are mentioned as a threat, as I was in a café in Rozelle today a dog
owner put her dog at a table, on a chair with her bag outside much to the
chagrin of some other customers, and went inside to have a coffee, it seems
that "dogs rule" eeeeerrrr and cats.

Cheers Lynda

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:
