Duncan Reef near Duncan's Cove was loaded up with Purple Sandpipers this afternoon, near to low tide.  They are hard to count as they forage amongst the kelps that are clinging to the rocks of the reef, but I'd say somewhere between 50-200.

I could see the surf braking offshore over a portion of the Sambro Ledge, exposing jagged rock faces.  This is at least a kilometre off shore and is one dangerous place.
