A flock of 4 BAR-TAILED GODWITS flew into Little Marlow Gravel Pits at 5:55am, with 3 remaining until 7am at least when I left. Also 2 Green Sandpipers were new in. A Common Cuckoo calling in the wood flew off west (Adam Bassett)
Meanwhile, a major passage of BAR-TAILED GODWITS was felt at Tring Reservoirs, with College Lake attracting 7 of these, a cracking male stopping and feeding on the main marsh throughout the rest of the day (Dave Bilcock et al). Dave counted a total of 80 birds move east in total.
