Sunday 5th October: Godwits still
A brief late afternoon visit to the Meadow in calmer conditions after a rather wet morning.
30+ BLACK-TAILED GODWITS were still present on the west shore, along with 25 GOLDEN PLOVER and 4 RUFF. There were quite a few SNIPE about as well. A reasonably sized gull roost was gathering as I left, mostly black-headed gulls with some lesser black-backed as well.
