Bah humbug
An NGB (Next Generation Birder) just posted pics up on a facebook page of a YBW taken at College Res (at the southern end)! Another person on another facebook page also posted up a pic of a sawbill taken from the pier at Church Street. Pics are tiny but it looks like it could be a female RBMerg or perhaps something more interesting.
Looks like trawling the internet has produced some good local birds! :eat:
Interesting! Got a link? It was pretty miserable weather-wise on our visit, so don't recall any passerines much, excepting a few brief views down by the waters edge.
Also popped into town myslef mid-afternoon, but didn't see any blackreds this end, despite taking a detour via Marlborough.
Presume the local Scaup will get picked up on the WeBS counts this weekend, if not -
