Cleethorpes godwits

At 9.30am today (an hour or so after high tide), I counted 150+ bar-tailed godwits among the shorebirds feeding voraciously on Cleethorpes sandflats almost opposite the Kingsway Hotel.  

On the mudflats just off the leisure centre, there were c 30 Brent geese.

An hour later, in a reedbed in Cleethorpes country park (near Links Road entrance), a Cetti's warbler was tuning up. On the lake, gadwall were still present but not much else.

Storm Eunice doesn't seem to have had any conspicuous impact on birdlife - every bird I tried to turn into an American warbler stubbornly proved to be a dunnock.
