Todays highlights
A slightly rainy start but the muggy weather brought a lot of birds closer than they normally would catching the low flying insects. Lots of swifts, swallows and house martins taking advantage of the abundance of insects. Over 30 black-tailed godwits infront of Nelson-lyle hide, Lyle hide and Friends hide using those fantastic long bills to find food in the soft mud. One black-tailed godwit has colour rings on, can't wait to find out the information about this bird to see where it's been and how old it is!
