Ging gang goolie goolie goolie goolie

Highlights of a high tide vigil at Goldcliff included 1 Greenshank, 4 Bar-tailed Godwit, 6 Black-tailed Godwit and 1 Whimbrel, also lots of broods of wildfowl and waders, and, on the category E front, both the Chinese Goose and Barney (apparently spending the jubilympics weekend at Goldcliff for a change of scene). And that was about it, apart from the three tents worth of kids having a mini-jamboree in the field next door. Mind you, they were just settling down for an alcohol and hormone fueled evening of fun, when the 2nd mechanised CCW division rolled over the hill and gave their party a pretty decisive pooping.
