Black-tailed Godwits, Nene Washes
These birds were in one of a few flocks rising from the washes yesterday (viewed from Throney Dyke), on 2.3.08. I have put coloured spots on each godwit (grouped in 50s), and reckon there are about 3,000 birds visible in this flock. Add together another couple of flocks, and I think you could comfortably reach 5,000...
