I counted 95 avocets at Two Tree Island this morning. The tide was in and the lagoon had lots of waders on it. Lapwings, ringed plovers, quite a few shovelers, dunlin, redshank, godwit, grey plovers, knots, teal. It was cold, wet and miserable. Must have made the buggers that flew in from Siberia feel quite at home - the weather and the archipelago.
