According to a local watcher who has known the area well for many years, these White Wagtail numbers are very high historically.  Could this new reserve be having an impact already? What will today bring? Is the Crane still around? 

Well, no but the White Wagtail count was 200 with 1 male Yellow wagtail, along with 6 Wheatears. 10 Avocets were seen, 4 on the lagoon in front of the viewing area and 5 male and 4 female Eiders  flew out of one of the new creeks.
