Knot a bad Week end

Went to the bay Friday morning, Saturday morning & Sunday morning.
Had a few decent sightings including:
BlackTailed Godwit, Saturday & Sunday.  2 Common Sandpipers on Saturday, 4 Avocets on Sunday morning.
Met Dave and Paul on Saturday as i was coming off the scrub after not seeing much,  (the significance of that you will see if you read Pauls blog) . I did hear a Cetti,s Warbler and saw a Great tit plenty of Linnets & Goldfinch. When i met Paul and Dave they were on a Knot feeding on the mud which stayed until the rising tide sent it on its way.


 Other sightings away from the river were a Willow Warbler on Friday, Quite a few Robins on all days, a Great tit on Saturday. 6 Meadow pipits on Friday 5 skylarks Sunday,  2 whinchats on Friday Wheatears on all days 2 Hobbies on Friday ,Kestrels all Days and a Sparrowhawk on Sunday

All in all quite a productive week end unfortunatly i didn't see the Wryneck Paul spotted in the scrub
on Saturday morning even though i spent about hour and half on the scrub
