More waders are using the spits of land on the main lagoon such as lapwing, black-tailed godwit, snipe, redshank and dunlin. With water levels decreasing we will be opening footpaths as far as Lyle hide from tomorrow (Sun 10 Feb) and up to Friends hide early in the week. The welney causeway on the A1101 is clear of water but still officially closed, this will probably change in the next few days.
