Enjoyed a couple of hours today at Blacktoft Sands. Last week’s highlight was a flock of about 250 black tailed godwits. Today they were nowhere to be seen; they may have headed off for their Icelandic breeding grounds. Instead there was just a solitary bar tailed godwit, an uncommon migrant. The highlight was a little gull, possibly the smallest gull in the world, and another unusual sighting. It was much smaller than the black headed gulls, and had a very different flight pattern, almost like a tern…
