Adam:
Spent most of my time up in the Vale to stay away from the awful Ooga Booga. No waterbirds except Mallards, but 19 spp. warbler, inc. cracking views of Blackburnian, Cape May, Wilsons very low down in Vale Pool. I found 3 Pine Siskin which was a big surprise. The area was very birdy!
Cheers
Adam
