Go-go-godwit

I could resist no longer, so went a-twitching this morning with John Ellis and Graham Gamidge, down to Somerset for the Hudsonian Godwit at Meare Heath. It showed well, although was asleep for much of the time we were there. Best was when it flew around with the Black-wit flock, as it was doing when we first arrived, when it showed off its underwing. Very nice too.





The supporting cast was pretty good too - a couple of Bitterns, Great White Egret, a pair of Garganey, 2+ Hobby, Water Rail, Cetti's Warbler, Marsh Harrier, Kingfisher, a couple of Ruff and 2 Whimbrel
