Knot Unusual
Monday rolling update...
At least 8 Knot with a flock of ~ 400 Black-tailed Godwit on the Mere this morning. Some years were may only get one or two sightings of Knot, which are primarily a coastal wader. This year we have had exceptional numbers with one flock in June numbering 180, which is possibly an inland record for Lancashire at least.
Spot the Knot!
Other waders include 2 Greenshank, Green Sandpiper, Ringed Plover, Little Ringed Plover, 2 Dunlin, 10+ Snipe, 15+ Ruff and 400+ Lapwing.
Teal are on the increase with ~ 250 on Woodend Marsh this morning.
