On Friday Dean blogged about the waders and on Saturday Lockhart saw these black-tailed godwits flying in.
And spot the greenshank
There was also a common sandpiper.

Since we cut the sedge and reed at the Phil Stead hide there are some very good views.
Elsewhere there are lots of common blue butterflies looking for the common bird's-foot trefoil on which to lay their eggs.
This is a female - not as blue as the male but she is on the bird's-foot trefoil.
Today some other birds flew in with a short-eared owl being seen over the discovery zone and a merlin visible from Paddy's hide.
The short-eared owls were not common last year but in some winters they have been seen frequently even over the car park first thing in the morning.
