3 Black-tailed Godwits were new this morning on the lagoon, 2 in breeding plumage revealing them to be of the race islandica.  Very blowy from the NE into the bay, no sign of any Brents and only a handful of Wigeon.  On the river a gathering of mainly large gulls included Skokholm colour-ringed Great Black-backed Gull red W:285 and another red-ringed bird which was presumably also from Skokholm but we couldn't read it (and the colour-ring was on the other leg).

Derek's Fieldfare sighting was timely as I also remarked earlier that I hadn't seen one all winter only this morning!
