A beautiful day to be counting birds after a foggy drive to the Miranda Shorebird Centre. I was pleased to be able to help as we paired up and were sent to different shorebird locations along the coast and inland on some farmland sites. I counted up to 1700 when something disturbed them and had to start again. Gillian was more successful and made it to 2200

| That's over half the World population of Wrybill at Miranda today |

| Wrybill can be fidgety birds not the easiest to count |
We will soon be adding our count for Shoal and Ngataringa Bay as our local contribution to the winter Waitemata census.
