Description

Riviere du Rampart is a nice spot with small estuary pools and overhanging trees. We went in the evening and spent a couple of hours here and saw Striated Heron, Meller's Duck, Common Waxbill, Sooty Tern and a Whimbrel. As well as the usual Red Fody, Common Myna, Red-whiskered Bulbul, and lots of very tame Zebra Dove.
