So after two consecutive weekends out, we decided to return to our local patches in Staffordshire today. It was a long hard slog for me and CJW visiting four sites with few rewards. We saw a Little Gull, Black-tailed Godwit, Greenshank and Ruff at Blithfield, another Black-tailed Godwit at BGP plus a Common Darter showed well as it first sat on my scope, and then landed on my hand.
