Embarrassing year tick

I've checked Flow Point a couple of times over the last few days. On Friday I missed the high tide by an hour so the waders had moved out to the estuary wall and were mostly too distant to check through. There were however seven Greenshank.

Today, The birds were roosting on the point. There were 31 Dunlin and a few Ringed Plovers but nothing scarcer in with them. A Bar-tailed Godwit was a nice surprise though. Unbelievably I've gone the year without seeing one! There was also a Wheatear on the point.

  1. Not as embarrassing as needing it as a patch tick...

  2. Haha, yeah I thought you might say that :-) Should be easy to get from now onwards.
