What was presumably Mike Wallen's Rowsham bird relocated with Lapwings to the main bund at Wilstone Reservoir. At around 1544, Roy Hargreaves and I watched the flock take flight and after a few circuits of the reservoir, the Godwit started calling loudly and peeled away from the flock and flew strongly west and then north over Drayton Beauchamp. It then arrived at Grovebury early evening. It was in full winter plumage.
