Making regular visits to Middleton Moor paid off again yesterday with a superb adult Black-tailed Godwit. It was present when I arrived and I watched it for about an hour but after an arrival of about 100 Lesser Black-backed Gulls it departed.

There has been some big movements of Black-tailed Godwits in the last few weeks, a flock of thirty were seen at Carsington yesterday, and I'm not sure what they are doing. You would expects adults to be breeding now.
Five Yellow-legged Gulls were also at Middleton which perhaps marks the start of the summer arrivals of this species.
Lovely photos.
