Brick Red Bar-Wits

Still good number of Bar-tailed godwits around in Barking Bay this morning with seventeen birds seen with some cracking summer males, always nice to see to brighten a dull, cold may day!

Further along two Whimbrel and the pair of Whinchat still knocking around, and added both Sedge Warbler and Lesser Whitethroat for the year, but star bird of the day goes to the spanking male COMMON REDSTART, found in the scrub around the mound, unfortunately didn't want to play ball with the camera so look like I will have to give it another go tomorrow!!
