An interesting day in the Tame valley. Coton was the first venue and produced a Black necked Grebe which showed well from the hide before getting too close in to the bank and becoming hidden by the vegetation. A message from Mr T that Steve C had found a Black tailed Godwit at Shustoke had me backtracking. The bird was close to the car park but was flushed by a worker as I arrived. The bird flew around for some time before settling on the waters edge again. Another wader in flight caught my attention on the far shore but it wasn't IDed and couldn't be relocated. At Cliff pool Kingsbury what I presumed to be the eclipse Mandarin duck was present with 5 Little Egrets.
