Great images and good to see the mouth remaining open after a barrage of recent swells.  Great bird observations too, Thanks Jarred.

#14588 9 Apr 2022 Approved Notes:

Black faced cormorants, Little pied cormorants, Silver gulls, Chestnut teal.

 

Great work on the recent observations.  Interesting to note that streamflows are still being maintained (just!) after basically five months of very little to no rain.  Luckily we haven't had a lot of swells of late, and sand/sediment at the mouth subsequently remains quite low (shown by the bridge footings still well exposed in images 3 & 4).  Big seas will however arrive at some stage, and if this happens prior to rainfall and streamflows, the mouth could naturally close.  Will be a good one to keep an eye on!  Looks like the weather turned it on too!  Thanks Jarred.
