Étang de la Barrière

While waiting to meet someone at the Pinel ferry dock, I had an unusual sighting of two Hudsonian whimbrels at the edge of Étang de la Barrière. The area is currently cordoned off to allow the mangroves to regrow undisturbed. Also present were egrets, a willet and a yellow-crowned night heron. It’s worth taking a look next time you’re headed over to Pinel.
