Black-winged Stilts, Vange Marsh

News of two Black-winged Stilts returning to Vange marsh yesterday saw us make a brief visit this morning. Parking at Chestnut Road allows access to the marsh via an underpass of the A13. It's then a walk of roughly 600m. Upon arrival, there are already four hardy souls scanning the marsh from the small viewing ramp. Thankfully the Stilts are still present and seen immediately.

It's bitterly cold this morning and feels much more like Winter than Spring! A scan of the area before heading for home produces Spotted Redshank, Ruff, Avocet, Snipe, and double-figures of Black-tailed Godwits.
