Today sunny, bright but a bit cold.
A good number of birds still on the Meadow though whilst I was there an errant dog was leading it's owner a merry dance as it ran around after the birds. 24 BLACK-TAILED GODWITS today, c 25 DUNLIN, 4 REDSHANK and c 20 RUFF. There were more PINTAIL around today with at least 10 present. There were good numbers of gulls about with several hundred present with at least two COMMON GULLS in amongst them. A red-head GOOSANDER was back on the flood water.
