Well I managed to get the grass cut on Friday evening and the wife had to work Saturday so off I headed.
On the way out stopped at Delta Ports jetty but nothing on the east side, so off to Westham I headed.
I made a quick stop at the end of the road and hiked the Dyke a bit. Saw 3 - Western Grebes and 8 Cormorants as well as a few sparrows song and GC. 1- Mute Swan
I then got to Reifel most of the same there, but a little more activity from the swallows in and around the nest boxes. I did see 3 Rufus Hummingbirds.
The Marsh wrens were going at it and staking out there reed condos.
A couple of Brown Creepers and a RB Nuthatch to round out the morning.
On the way back I stopped of at Glen-Valley's Poplar Bar. Saw another Rufus and Creeper and a Red Tail Hawk.
I have enclosed a few photos of the day at the End.
