Took an afternoon walk down to The Holme, a freshwater marshland on the banks of the Tees only ten minutes from my own home. Delighted to find a group (eight or nine) Black Tailed Godwits feeding there. A lovley bird given Red Status by the RSPB and the first time I have seen them on this pond. The picture is not of the birds I saw today. The males are still sporting the red upper body colours of breeding birds but it will be fading soon. I'll be keeping an eye on the marsh to see how long they stick around.
