Soldiers Point

Big seas had forced the birds to the front of the rock shelf where there was little cover, so it was impossible for me to get close in the hour I had given myself. But there were good numbers of birds, including the first Double Banded Plover I’ve seen this summer. No sign of the Wandering Tattlers that have been reported up and down this part of the coast but from the top Grey-tailed Tattler, Pacific Golden Plover, Curlew Sandpiper, Ruddy Turnstone, Red-necked Stint.
