Three Amigo's Birding

• Monday, September 21, 2009 - Avocet and Bar-tailed Godwit at Hook with Warsash

   Yesterday afternoon I went for a stroll around Hook with Warsash and got rewarded with another 'patch tick'.  On my last visit I added Razorbill to my list and on this occasion it was Avocet.  A single Avocet and two Bar-tailed Godwit were on Links Scrape at high tide.  I took a couple of record photographs in the gloom before the afternoon spots of rain became a steady drizzle.  

Avocet, Hook with Warsash - 20 Sep 09

A single Bar-tailed Godwit amongst Black-tailed Godwits, Hook with Warsash - 20 Sep 09.  A second bird was on the other side of the same island. 

Good birding,
