| Sun 25 | | Wood, Marsh Sandpipers
Balaklava |
| | 2 Wood Sandpipers and 1 Marsh Sandpiper at former Balaklava effluent ponds. Normally dry, this area now has some water after nearly 80 mm. of rain. Unfortunately, all Balaklava's effluent water is now diverted to the local racecourse. This has been to the detriment of ducks, some waders and many other water birds with the loss of permanent water habitat. Over the last few years, I have recorded over 80 bird species in, around and over the effluent ponds. | | Paul Taylor 25/1 #221956 |
