[Ontbirds]Shorebirds - West Perth Wetlands

[Steve Thorpe]

There were a few shorebirds today at West Perth Wetlands.  Five species to be precise: Greater Yellowlegs (3), Lesser Yellowlegs (5) , Least Sandpiper (12) , Spotted Sandpiper (2) and Killdeer(15).

The largest cell has very little water and lots of wet mud.  Most of the shorebirds were in it.  The other cells are full of water, up to grass level.

West Perth Wetlands is on the south side of Mitchell.  From Hwy 8 through Mitchell head south on Wellington St .  The wetlands are beyond the ball field.
