Waders are everywhere! The high tides and raptors (Kestrel, Sparrowhawk, Peregrine and Buzzard) are responsible for much movement about the scrapes. Best sites are South Lake Discovery Hide and Top New Piece from Zeiss Hide but the Tack Piece and Rushy are also attracting any birds and providing great views.
