The Birding Club visited the West Perth Wetlands in Mitchell under mostly cloudy skies today and a comfortable temperature in the low 20’s. Eleven shore birds were viewed with good looks at the Snipe, Short-billed Dowitcher and Sora. A total of 48 species were found. Some Birders visited the Ripley Lagoons on their return from Mitchell and found a few new ones for the list.

Thanks to Marilyn Ohler for arranging to have Eric and Liz Jeffrey from St.Marys who bird the lagoons regularly, help us out with locating and identifying some of the birds.
