I arrived on the Carr yesterday to be told there were two Godwits on the flash water so a quick walk up the bridle path and there they were. Two easy ticks. A Black tail coming into summer plummage and a much paler and slightly smaller Bar tail. Unfortunately a good hundred yards plus away so no nice photographs. In fact no good shots for the last few days with this dull weather. Whilst watching the Godwits through the scope Pied Wagtails were constantly flicking through the view and Vipers found two good candidates for White Wagtail so tonight I headed back but once again was thwarted by poor light and impending rain. A couple of possibles but Inever too close. The Bar tailed Godwit was still present and two Short eared Owls were hunting north of the sentry box. Plenty of Large Gulls, Ducks and Geese although nothing out of the ordinary. Last time the Carr flooded in spring at this time a pair of Garganey and Gadwall turned up so I live in hope.
