Bar-tailed Godwit in the CWP

24 April - a CWP tick! while looking for Hobbies at pit 57, I scanned the "beach" on the far side and picked up a dumpy Godwit in scaly winter plumage with a fairly short bill and legs - when it flew, no wing bar - Bar-tailed! A pretty rare bird in the CWP, not seen annually.
3 Hobbies were also seen hawking over the far side of 57/58.
