Yellowhammer

Another excellent week at the pits with two additions, a Mediterranean Gull & 3 Black-tailed Godwits.

The gull roost has built up to 700 birds so it was only a matter of time before a Med Gull was found. A nice find by the Squire. Peppers recorded 14 Common Gull midweek in addition to two Little Egrets.

All the godwits appeared on the same day. First of all there was one in the morning what looked to be in moult and then when I arrived later that evening there was two in stonking plumage on the west shore line. 

The site's year list now stands at 118.
