Tuesday 7th October: Godwits, Ruff & Golden Plover still
This morning overcast, showery and windy though rather mild.
The Meadow floods are looking a bit fuller after the recent rain though the basic shape hasn't changed much. It's very much a case of the usual birds at present: c30 BLACK-TAILED GODWITS still feeding happily and widely dispersed over the floods; 4 RUFF dotted about the place and this morning about 220 GOLDEN PLOVER in a large flock on the west shore though they took flight and headed off whilst I was there.
A grey wagtail, taken yesterday close to the Perch @ Pete Styles
Another video taken this morning of some godwits feeding at close range next to Burgess Field NR gate. As the quality is reasonably good you may wish to view this in high quality mode by clicking here and selecting "watch in high quality".
