A little after 8am this morning and there were a handful of photographer/birdwatchers at Mistley Walls. The tide was just dropping and the sky was crystal clear.
Given that the high-tide was so low, the Black-tailed Godwits had decided to roost right next to the road, rather than the factory roost on the Suffolk side.
As the tide receded, the odd Knot and Dunlin appeared from the throng, affording a nice comparison and the two separate godwit groups joined together.
Round at the Quay, a few Goldeneye were busy courting and pair-bonding. Males predominated, but one pair were well and truly in love: heads were thrown back, wing-stretching and diving together. They looked like they would be very happy together.
