High tide count

Today myself and Martin Redfern helped out on the High tide wader count. Organised by Dave Mo. We done ok considering the windy conditions. So here are the results. 415 Dunlin,321 Black tailed Godwit,40 Redshank,4 Lapwing,7 Snipe. Also at the Stone Barges were Rock pipit and a very smart Water pipit. These photographs show how important structures are for roosting birds at high tide and need safe guarding.

  1. We were thinking of foregoing Turkey this year and instead having Roast Godwit. They're obviously a bit smaller though - how many do you think we would need for a family of five?

  2. And would you recommend serving with red or white wine?
