Two adult Long-billed Dowitchers were present at the Tilbury Sewage Lagoons this morning (Aug 4) in the small/centre lagoon. Adult Long-billed Dowitchers have a habit of "staying around" in August when found, so there is a decent chance they will be present for a while yet (not that you heard it from me).
A record shot of one bird is here, for those interested. http://www.blog.peregrineprints.com/2011/08/todays-birding-or-was-it-yesterday.html Good Birding!
