Nummy's Island - Wednesday, May 11th, 2016

Tonight's CMBO walk at Nummy Island was met with heavy rain and chilly temperatures but this group of dedicated birders were up to the challenge. Despite the weather we had some great birds. The highlight was getting simply knockout views of a Clapper Rail bathing. This was a target species for many of the participants. Leaders; Warren Cairo, Shaun Bamford, Lee & Bill Smythe.
