6th July: Godwits & plover
This morning overcast, windy and rainy.
Still some interesting passage waders around to look at. The LITTLE RINGED PLOVERS were still at "stint" corner this morning. There were 4 adults and 1 juvenile.

Two LITTLE EGRETS were hunting down at the south end of the floods. 10 BLACK-TAILED GODWITS arrived mid morning and fed and preened about half way down the west shore of the floods.

Apart from there there were loads of black-headed gulls around. They weren't counted but could easily have topped 200.
