Not many birds today. We had a late start as Michelle was feeling quite ill and we needed to decide whether to get her to a doctors. She rested for a while whilst with the boys, I checked out a few places around Nanaimo (Pipers Lagoon and Neck Point.) Here Tom did very well to pick out a Bewick’s Wren and we also managed Northern Flicker and Black Oystercatcher.
Michelle decided she was feeling alright to press on to Tofino, and so we took a slow drive west slow drive west, stopping at places such as Cathedral Grove for walks. No new birds were added until we arrived, in thick fog, at our lodgings at "Bird & Breakfast" were we met with George Bradd. He’d been keeping the Hummingbird feeders well stocked and we managed to get Rufous Hummingbird added to the list.The rest of the evening was spent visiting the hospital, though Michelle decided she would wait until tomorrow before seeing a doctor so we had dinner in a sea-side pub before an early night.
