The seven Blackwits at VP herald the start of some good wader movement and I thought I'd take a hunt through the archives to 11th June 2006 when an unparalleled number dropped into Venus Pool. I can still remember it clearly - in the those days, the blog hadn't been created and the pool was a whole lot tidier!
I can't guarantee the three pics don't overlap and probably incomplete coverage but there were 68 Black-tailed Godwits (I remember counting multiple times with Geoff Holmes) on and adjacent to the middle island,!
Those were the days eh? Despite no long lens!!
