Lockdown Diary: Friday 10.7.20

In the evening, I headed out to evening sites of choice, these days, in south Lincolnshire (ie just north of Peterborough, where I live). Deeping Lakes LWT’s east pit had three ’new-in’ Icelandic Black-tailed Godwits (I know they were new-in, as friends of mine had visited earlier and not seen them). Also on the east pit were a nice spangly Green Sandpiper, 2 Little Ringed Plover and an adult Greenshank which called in.
