Friday 3rd October: Godwits, Ruff & Plover
This morning a sunny but very cold with a chilly north-westerly wind whipping across the Meadow.
Most of the waders were down at the south end again near the boat moorings though a few were dotted about elsewhere. A total of about 30 BLACK-TAILED GODWITS still present, 5 mobile RUFF and 3 GOLDEN PLOVER flew in as I was leaving. By Burgess creek about half a dozen or so SNIPE in amongst the wigeon and teal.
In Burgess Field a STONECHAT was seen (WoM).
