Migrant waders
On Sunday 3rd May, I walked up to Broadland Sands Holiday Camp, Corton as soon as the rain stopped, as I was keen to get some pictures of the BTG flock, I could see Rob H. on his bike, initially no sign of the flock but a wader flock, 27 strong was flying around plus many holidaymakers so I ran as fast I was able. The flock settled was constantly on the move feeding on leatherjackets but the people disturbed them and they flew onto the ploughed field just west of the grassy area. They were a fine mixed plumage flock of 27 Bar- tailed Godwits, some in full summer plumage, some in partial plumage and some still in winter plumage. Eventually they flew back onto the grass again, again constantly feeding before sadly once again passers by flushed them back into the cropped field.
