Today's sightings
Zeiss Hide/Top New Piece
The majority of waders arrived after midday despite the tides being very low this week (higher tides from Friday/Saturday). The scrape was quiet from a wader point of view early morning.
Please note that work on the newly created wader islands will continue from later today and through tomorrow, this may result in some localised disturbance to the Teal. We intend to work on the southern end of the scrape before the tide tomorrow and move N through the day, this should mean that it does not impact on the wader roost. Apologies.
