Re: HUDSONIAN GODWIT - MEARE HEATH

The Hudsonian godwit was present from early morning apparently. It was there when I arrived at 8.10 and other visitors had been there a while before then. Also one Ruff, one Redshank and a male Garganey. At Noah's, one Common Tern, 3 Black headed gulls, still a few Wigeon around and a big flock of Sand Martins.

Thank you Nick for your reply and compliment!

I probably don't watch the sky enough!
This Sparrowhawk had been soaring, which I have seen many times, but it's sudden and long stoop to attack was a new one for me, but thrilling!

Re: HUDSONIAN GODWIT - MEARE HEATH

At last I have an opportunity to visit Shapwick this afternoon (Tuesday).

I understand the Hudsonian Godwit didn't show at all yesterday. Has it been seen at all today?

Thanks.

Jamie
