Friday 26th September: Golden Plover
This morning first thing a thick mist over the Meadow. Once that had cleared it was a gloriously sunny morning.
A flock of a few BLACK-TAILED GODWITS was seen departing as I arrived with just one remained on the floods after that. The 4 RUFF still present and joined on the North Reach by 4 GOLDEN PLOVER. A LITTLE EGRET down by the boat moorings. Lots (30+) of SNIPE visible this morning.
Vis. mig.: a smart male blackcap by the Burgess Field gate and a couple of meadow pipits over.
