Brant! - 19 Nov 2023

A Black Brant was found at Luna Pier on 01 November 2023. Usually a one-day wonder this bird continued to be seen for the following several weeks. I finally managed to get down there this morning to see it. Perhaps it knows to stay in an area free of hunting, and perhaps it may stay long enough to be seen on our Christmas Count on December 16, 2023?
