25th June: Godwits & Egrets still
The weather again starting off sunny and warm though clouding over later.
This morning on the floods the two BLACK-TAILED GODWITS were still present. The LITTLE EGRET was today joined by a second bird. Last autumn there were up to 13 present at their peak so with any luck more will arrive over time. The 6 COMMON TERNS were still present though the tufted ducks appeared to have moved on. There were still a large number of lapwings though perhaps not as many as yesterday.
With the large feral geese flock by the river bank was the (presumably "dodgy") BARNACLE GOOSE which has been around the area on and off for some time now.
