Our new Argo eight wheeled all terrain vehicle is just the thing for viewing Wading birds whilst they are roosting on the Spit.

We have been doing tours to see these birds for a number of years now but until this Summer have been denied the ability to see large flocks and to remain on the beach until high tide.

Having a maximum of four people each time makes it really seem like we have the place to our selves.

This photo was taken a few days before they left the Spit and shows just how colourful they become.

Godwits days before migration
