Hi, Just to add to Ian's recent Hartlen Point sightings. I was out along the harbour side beach on Sunday (Oct. 15) afternoon just before high tide for an hour to check the washed up seaweed for foraging shorebirds. Numbers where down from the week before, but this may also have been linked to the higher tide level this time (was close to low tide last weekend), and the massive sea weed built up on the beach. I have seen two Killdeers, few (single digit numbers) Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, no peeps or small plovers seen feeding (just flying by towards the headland), a good dozen Black-bellied Plovers and, most noteworthy, 3 or 4 Golden Plovers. Plenty of Savanna and Song sparrows were feeding in the washed up weed. Cheers Ulli
