Hi
Stopped for 15 minutes at the Gosport site. Saw Hudsonian Godwit - 1 Dunlin - 61 Mute Swan 71 Mallard - 6 Green-winged Teal - 12 Bonaparte's Gulls - 40 Ring-billed Gulls - 3 I did not see the Ibis. I did hear what I believe was a Trumpeter Swan out in the outer bay but I could not pick it out from the Mute Swans. Directions courtesy Doug McRae: From Brighton go south on Prince Edward Street (the main N/S road from downtown), over the railway tracks. Follow the road as it swings left and just before you get to the Constructed Wetland, turn right on to Harbour St. Follow Harbour for a few hundred meters and turn left on Baldwin St. Follow Baldwin St. south into Gosport. Turn left on to Price Street (at ball diamond) and follow to the very end. Walk east along the mowed path and stand on the tip of land. The shorebirds are on the mudflats to the north, between 700-1000m away so a scope is essential. The Presqu'ile Yacht Club right there is private property, please don't go on the property without permission.
