There are three juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpipers foraging on the grassy edge of the mudflats on the inner side of the west headland of Cobourg harbour this afternoon - still present at 2.30pm. Also present are a couple of White-rumps, 2 or 3 Baird's, Sanderling, Ruddy Turnstone, and a Black-bellied Plover. A Whimbrel and a Red Knot were seen earlier and a winter-plumaged Forster's Tern appears intermittently.
Directions: Exit Hwy.401 at Exit 474, Division Street. Follow Division St. south to where it ends at the harbour, then drive west around the harbour to the main parking lot on the west side.
