This morning a flock of 39 black-tailed godwits flew in over the ruck from the west and then circled over the spit before heading off back west. Pity the water levels are so high at the moment, I think they would have landed otherwise. My previous highest count for the species at the flash was 10. No sign of any hirundines this morning, yesterday there were five sand martins.
