The last three days have be very productive with some good birds seen. The star bird being a very obliging male Bar- tailed Godwit which was found by Dave Murphy on the 22nd. The bird was present all day giving good views. Other waders reported included Whimbrel seen on three days, two Little ringed Plover, Oystercatcher,. Ringed Plover, five Common Sandpiper, Dunlin, six Greenshank, and a Ruff. Arctic Terns reported with thirteen present on the 22nd being the highest count. Single Black and Sandwich Terns also seen were noteworthy records. The surprise of this period was the large influx of little Gulls which I estimated at seventy five plus, the most I've ever seen here. Yellow Wagtails also seen in good numbers with a maxim count of seventeen on the 23rd. Farmoor 2021 year list : 142 Latest Ruff..
