The star attraction on Gough was the Northern Rockhopper (please split this bird) -they are now talking of recognising an eastern Rockhopper which would give full species status to the Australian bird

In a short but close encounter with a large flock of Dunlin, at least 3 Western Sandpipers, and probably a lot more were present at Boundary Bay.
I haven't had any free time in the past 2 months - so it was good to get out for a bit.

It seemed that several of the Dunlin were resting and feeding at the same time...being careful with the incoming tide. Boundary Bay, BC.

In 30 years, I've never experience something like this. While hunkered down at the water's edge, well over a thousand Dunlin and other sandpipers started making their way towards me. Eventually, all I could hear was a chorus of "peeps" as the birds quickly followed the tide moving in...eventually surrounding me. It was like I was feeding with them at one point. I took a few photos and crawled away, making sure not to flush them on their journey of several thousand miles.

All the great Albatross we saw off Gough (where they breed) i have assumed to be Tristan rather than Wandering
