At Cosheston, the number of black-tailed godwits (46) present today was about half the total counted there a month ago. Dunlin numbers were up to 50+ and single bar-tailed godwit and greenshank were amongst other waders and waterfowl present. No teal were seen today, nor at Pembroke Millpond where numbers of waterfowl were generally quite small.
The scaup was still there and 15+ little grebes were also on the middle pond, several trilling and displaying during the drizzle.
With dark, heavy clouds and drizzle, the light was too poor for photography really - hence 1/30th second shutter speed |
