Venus Pool - Blackwits x 10!

Although I can well remember a spectacular count of 68 in June 2006, double figure groups of Black-tailed Godwits are NOT the norm at VP! I was greeted by 10 during an afternoon visit and whilst they were out in the middle they sort of 'pad out' the record shots!!

Here's all 10 of them!


After feeding up, time for a preen.....


They got a little bit agitated when a flock of Canadas crash landed nearby!


It was all too much!
