All,
I just wanted to second Conor's post about birders giving feeding on potential birder access improvements at Ocean Park. I will be putting together a detailed document that covers this and some of the potential restoration projects there. However, it would be great if others could provide feedback for a year-round observation post 300 yards or so W of the railway tracks where we can get closer views of the river mouth. This would be a real game changer for viewing shorebirds, gulls and terns that regularly aggregrate out there but often too far to be properly counted and identified.
I will also be requesting a boardwalk than runs a few hundred E along the edge of the saltmarsh on the S bank of the river so we can view the area upstream of the island at closer range.
