Todays sightings
A great start to the morning with plenty of waders and ducklings on the reserve. The number of black-tailed godwits are fluctuating, a few of them have colour rings on. If you see a bird with colour rings please try and get the combination and either tell the front desk or pop it in the sightings book. The black-tailed godwits can have light green and dark green colours which can be confusing, they sometimes have leg flags and metal rings with a large cross on.
This beautiful painting by Ben Green shows a lovely black-tailed godwit in breeding plumage showing off its lovely colour rings.
