The day began with a flock of 9 BAR-TAILED GODWITS briefly on the main marsh at College Lake BBOWT (Chris Trew). Tim Watts then had 4 WHIMBREL and a GREENSHANK at Gallows Bridge before Rob Norris found a nice male BAR-TAILED GODWIT at the Sherington Bridge Floods (seen later by LGRE and others). Simon Nichols then found a breeding-plumaged GREY PLOVER at Manor Farm, Old Wolverton, with 7 DUNLIN and 3 TUNDRA RINGED PLOVER there also (Chris Gleadell, LGRE).
Richard Billyard had another BAR-TAILED GODWIT and 3 WHINCHATS at his farm at Kimblewick, with 2 of the latter still present at the Pump Lane Horse Paddocks in Marlow Bottom (Rosalind Stevens).
At Bledlow, the singing male COMMON NIGHTINGALE remains (Dave Parmenter)
