Thursday 21st August: Greenshank & Godwits
An evening visit to the Meadow today in pleasant conditions.
3 GREEN SANDPIPERS flew overhead calling as I walked towards the north channel. A single GREENSHANK in the channel together with 9 BLACK-TAILED GODWITS, 11 RINGED PLOVER and 6 DUNLIN. A single COMMON SANDPIPER along the north shore line.
