As the site is starting to dry out, the pools and flashes start to draw down too.  This is ideal for passing waders who need to stop off to refuel.  Six greenshank, one green sandpiper, six snipe and around ten lapwing, were also accompanied by numerous mallard, as well as at least four teal and one juvenile shelduck.  Our herd of cattle were accompanied by around twenty yellow wagtails, many of them juveniles.
