LANDGUARD - 29th July

 Clear and sunny pretty much throughout the day but with a hefty force 5 westerly wind somewhat spoiling things; a little trickle of random waders heading south at sea was the day’s highlight which included 16 Black-tailed Godwits (given the hundreds that are currently up the nearby rivers and on wetland reserves, they are surprisingly rarely seen at Landguard), 3 Curlews, a Whimbrel, 3 Dunlin, a summer plumaged Golden Plover, a summer plumaged Grey Plover, 7 Oystercatchers, 2 Sanderling and 7 Turnstone.   

Other birds comprised a Grey Wagtail, 11 Sand Martins, 88 Swifts and a Yellow Wagtail.
