Hi all,

What a great morning birding and luckily the weather was favourable apart from a few wind gusts! Thanks to all with the beach clean up, we will have the fence put up around this area within the next week.

Thanks to Jo and Ted for leading the day and providing a friendly venue for morning tea.

Kind regards,

Liz
