27th June: Godwits still
The weather again pleasant to start with though clouding over later.
Today was pretty much a repeat of the last few days: the 2 BLACK-TAILED GODWITS now present for their fourth day. The BARNACLE GOOSE still grazing on the grass and the 6 COMMON TERNS still happily alternating between feeding elegantly and loafing with the black-headed gulls. There were no egrets or redshanks this morning though still plenty of lapwings.
The two moorhen broods seem to be doing ok though they are down to 4 and 2 chicks from their initial 5 and 3.
At lunch time a RED KITE flew over at quite low altitude.
