Tuesday Report - unusual sighting

My usual routine is to visit the Marsh on Monday, Thursday and Saturday mornings, but this week a change to my routine so that I could be at my grandson's Carol Concert yesterday. So it was unusual for me to be over the Marsh on a Tuesday and I was rewarded by an unusual bird - at 8.32am a single black-tailed godwit flew west over Clendish Marsh! These birds don't usually stray far from the coast and this one will have a long way to go west over Tottenham before it reaches the coast.

Not a lot around otherwise, a single male pheasant (dark necked) sitting on a fence inside the Allotments, 2 redwings calling from trees at Stonebridge Wood, plus a goldcrest here with long-tailed tits. 12 gadwall seen from the Chalk Bridge in the channel NE of the bridge and 13 teal in the channel near the Green Bridge. Single lapwing north over the east channel at WM East.
