A
steady stream of Northern Gannets has been migrating up the coast all week and
today was no exception. With their six-foot black-tipped wingspan and gold
highlighted head, they're quite a spectacle when flying close to land.
Oystercatcher numbers are increasing and a group of them were raising quite a
racket over the dunes. A male and a female Blue-winged Teal were a nice
surprise on one of the back ponds.
