A nice group of 25 Bar-tailed Godwit at the Gann late afternoon (Lisa had 27 a few days ago), presumably visiting from Angle Bay as this is an unusual number here. 2 were colour-ringed at the Gann last autumn (numbers 04 & 05 - I saw number 02 at the Gann on 2/10/25). Also managed to read a Redshank and 5 Oystercatcher rings in the gloomy conditions.
Also really nice to see 13 Brent Geese - quite unusually 5 of them were dark-bellied. Not much of a pre-gull roost gathering, but amongst the 200 or so smaller gulls were 17 Mediterranean Gulls (15 adults, 1 2CY & 1 3CY). (With Huw Lewis)
