Occasion was NEPA’s observance of International Migratory Bird Day, October 9, when it hosted students of Denham Town Primary on an excursion on Gun Boat Beach and the Old Coal Wharf, both in the Palisadoes Port Royal Protected Area, to count migratory sea birds. The students identified five species of birds.
