Several birders lined up waiting for the Smew to "fly-by" for the 4th morning
in a row... but no. I took the kayak well out into the bay again and while
there were plenty of Bufflehead around there were few other divers like
Goldeneye and Mergansers.
The previously reported Eurasian Wigeon near Dunnville was not seen this
afternoon either although there were a great number of dabblers and present.
The previously reported number of Ring-billed Gulls were not present and
neither were any swans so clearly a few birds have moved out.
Cheers,
