I realise it's been 5 days since I posted! Not sure why.
We went to Bastion Point today and it was quiet wader-wise. There is so much exposed sand they could have gone exploring further inland. While the Mouth looked wide it was clear that there is a lot of sand just offshore and a very narrow passage on the inland side: getting a boat out would need a lot of skill and/or some luck and/or a powerful motor.
As we came back we came across 4 White-fronted Chats. The demographics as I interpret them are:
2 Adult Males
1 adult female
... and (lower bird) a juvenile of unknown sex (together with one of the males above).
The juvenile suggests that they bred somewhere in the vicinity but a bit tenuous to report as a breeding record.
