Observation details
There was a large mixed group of 1400 godwits and red knots, very edgy and restless often taking flight. We had two experienced German birders with us with a powerful scope. The ratio of knots to godwits was estimated to be 2:1. This I have never seen before on the Spit where knots have outnumbered godwits
