Hi all, Josh V and I heard the bird sing just now (at 12:40), small trail through woods on east side. About 100-150m north of north end of marina.
A few people looking. Note: Lakeshore Rd is closed at the canal so if coming from Hamilton and west, go to far side of canal and then make your way south to the east side of Port Weller pier along Seaway Haulage Rd.
