  As usual with a local outing, the group of  ten birding enthusiasts met at Petra’s to decide on the day’s destination.  If not for Sheila’s decision-making we would probably still be sitting there… “72nd it is” she says, and off we went.  The group of ten included Ken and Anne A, Jane, Kay, Terry, Mike, Sheila, Marion, the

• DNCB Outing No. 2012-47 To Reifel Island via the Ferry Jetty & TFN Lands

  It was a dark and stormy…and the small group (myself) met at 8:00 am at Petra’s to decide on the day’s  trip.  Because of the heavy traffic the group (myself) decided to  give the others a bit of extra time to arrive.  At 9:30 I felt that our group of one was as big as
