Bird News - Saturday 22nd April 2017

Lagoon 4 - 234 Black-tailed Godwits (125+ flew over and kept going towards Oakham and then 28 flew over and circled and then headed back towards Lagoon 1. Then the 28 came back towards Lagoon 4 and were joined by 142 birds, which are presumably the flock of 125+ from earlier, which may have flown back. Then the flock joined together and then they landed on Lagoon 4 and roosted on Island 7. Then 64 more dropped in and landed in front of Sandpiper Hide. Also 1 Ruff (no sing this evening) and 4 Whimbrel (this evening)
