This adult Black-tailed Godwit has been present at Marazion Marsh for the last few days. The species is not normally seen at this site. This individual is presumably tracking north towards Iceland, where the majority of Cornish wintering birds breed. This bird is not quite in full summer plumage but nonetheless, a smart looker. The best places to see good numbers of wintering Black-tailed Godwits in Cornwall are the Camel Estuary, Tresillian and Truro Rivers.
