The Holes Bay Common Sandpiper continues to show well, today being photographed through the foliage from the cycle path while 2 Water Pipit were recorded at Lytchett Fields. Jerry’s Point continues to delight with 7 Black-necked Grebe, 6 Slavonian Grebe, 4 Great Northern Diver and the Pale-bellied Brent Goose. Four Long-tailed Duck remained distant offshore and the regular 4 Scaup were still off Redhorn Point.
