The Godwit is still present down at Grutness today after a brief spell on the beach at the end of the runway and on the Pool of Virkie
I was surprised that no one else was present when i was down, at least for an hour. Then two locals turned up. If this occurred down south there would have been 100's watching
It was good to see the black underwing, another ID feature of this wader
It flew closer than the previous day and fed quite close not disturbed by a skip lorry
once it started to feed it was difficult to capture its head out of the water
It has now been present for nine days, having arrived a week last Sunday. Its has been more mobile recently and today has been seen on Grutness beach and on the Pool of Virkie
