Folks The West Perth Wetlands remain a happening place for migrating shorebirds. Wednesday night the Stratford Field Naturalists saw, amongst the numerous shorebirds, four Red-necked Phalaropes in the centre-east cell at the east end. A return trip today yielded the same four birds as well as 3 Short-billed Dowitchers, a Stilt Sandpiper, 3 Black-bellied Plovers, a number of Pectoral Sandpipers, as well as a Woodcock. Dave Brown estimated that there are about 300 shorebirds in the ponds. The lagoons remain ideal shorebird habitat. Location: The wetlands are in Mitchell at the south end of Wellington St of Ontario Rd., the main drag.
