Hi Ontbirders There is a nice variety of waders at Blenheim Lagoons. Highlights are early White-rumped and Semipalmated Sandpipers. There are over 700 Dunlin and 7 Short-billed Dowitchers as well.
We also saw one of the red saddlebags dragonflies - not sure which. Blenheim lagoons are on Lagoon road west o Blenheim. A permit and gate code are required for access.
