Good numbers visible from the hides, with the Avocets gradually getting closer!
British Steel Hide
Regular sightings of Black-tailed godwits, Snipe, Shelduck and Wigeon have been seen out form the steel hide in good numbers. 400 Lapwing have been seen taking refuge among the Lagoons and the Spoonbill continues to make an appearance feeding amongst the ditches. Three Avocets have been seen daily since Monday this week, gradually getting closer to the hides, offering a better view to visitors. A Peregrine also makes regular hunts along the estuary in the hopes of catching an unwary wader.
