This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --Boundary_(ID_2mZxazka9tEc9FanWf5eQA) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT The best shorebird beach between Chebucto Head and West Pennant is Sandy Cove's little 50 metre wide beach. It is especially productive when the kelp heaps have had time to ripen. My nose is the best indicator of good shore-birding at this place. This midday the highlight was a pair of Solitary Sandpipers, plus several Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Spotted Sandpipers, Semipalmated Sandpipers and Plovers. I photographed a Whimbrel at Hartlen Point beach the other day and was impressed by the massive size of this bird's bill, especially at the base. The bubble of water the bird was carrying with the bill added to the largess of the appearance, but nonetheless I can't recall seeing one with such a sturdy bill.
