Lineage During the coastal survey, 40.75km (39 full 1km transects, 3 partial transects) have been covered by two surveyors. More than 3900 birds were counted (excluding chicks) which added up to 38 species (2 of which are wintering migrants). The coastal habitats were recorded along with the bird monitoring. On the surveyed small islands in Adventure Sound (North Point Island, Halt Island, Turn Island and Third Island) an effort was made to look for any signs of rats, and Cobb's wren.
