Three BLACK-TAILED GODWITS discovered 'curled' up dozing in the shallows just off one of the opposing spits. Got a bit flighty on wakening but then settled down and were still feeding on the north shore when I left around seven pm so hopefully still there in the morning. Two in winter plumage the other just moving into its breeding attire.
Also on site around a dozen Yellow Wagtails, at least five, probably more, Little Ringed Plovers and singles of Green Sandpiper, Oystercatcher and Common Redshank. Little Egret numbers up to five.
