Godwit-counting



It is that time of year, again, when I get the urge to count Black-tailed Godwits on the Nene Washes. I photographed this flock this morning (14.3.09), as it swirled around panicking in the presence of an adult male Peregrine. Using the Graham P Catley colouring method (counting in 50s, here), I estimate that there are at least 2,650 godwits in this one flock.
