Hi All,
there were 5 returning Least Sandpipers, a Spotted Sandpiper and
a Killdeer on the mud flats at the western end of the harbour at Prince
Edward Point NWA this morning.
Dave
To reach Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory and the NWA, from Picton.
Take Main Street from the east end of downtown Picton, go down to the
bottom of the hill and turn immediately right onto Union Street (directly
across
from Tip of the Bay Motel). Follow Union Street up out of Picton (it becomes
County Road 8) for 2.5 km, at the junction in the highway, turn right onto
County Road 17 and follow it for 6.5km, turn left onto County Road 16 and
continue to the stop sign at the end (about 1km). Turn right and follow County
Road 13 past the Black River Cheese factory and continue for 23.5 km to the
Prince Edward Point National Wildlife Area (County Road 13 eventually
becomes Long Point Road). At Ducks Dive Charters the road turns to gravel,
continue for 2.5 km to the bird observatory, the harbour is a further 100mtrs.
