North Brook Island PIP count Nov 2013

Mid November saw Parks and Wildlife personnel and regular count volunteers heading out by boat to conduct the second count of the season at North Brook Island.

The team counted a total of 20,151 PIPs flying in to the island, a big increase from the previous count in early October.  Many thanks to everyone in the count team, and extra thanks to Liz for reporting and to John for the photos.
