Venus Pool - Black tailed Godwits x 9!

The Black-tailed Godwits are not just coming, they are are staying a while. Two new arrivals took the tally for the day to 9 and they were a little more obliging with one of two coming near to the hide. The light of course was horrendous...


Here's the adult...


Plus of of the juvs feeding...


Encroaching on the mud...




Searching for different invertebrates?





A pause for thought?


Then back in the water for more goodies...


Teaming up with another new arrival, one of the first Common Snipe which arrived the previous day...


And getting a withering look from one of the geese...


No new waders but (2) LRP, (2) Green and (2) Common Sandpipers still present!
