Checked out three high tides at Rimac in the last two days, a good selection of waders noted including 1 Golden Plover, Knot, Sanderling, Dunlin, 1 Bar-tailed Godwit, Whimbrel, Curlew, Greenshank, and 1 Turnstone. 2 Little Tern were with Sandwich, Common and Artic Terns and 2 Artic Skua put on a fine display chasing terns over the beach and sea. Several flocks of Common Scoter flew by.
At Sea View Washland were Green Sandpiper, Greenshank, Ringed and Little Ringed Plover and Curlew.
