Wader migration has picked up again in the last couple of days. On 16th a lesser yellowlegs appeared on the pools in front of the visitor centre. This rare american wader was the fourth record of this species on the reserve (previous record 1997, 2001 and 2006). Yesterday there were one possibly two little stints on the reserve and this morning the lesser yellowlegs has been joined by another american wader this time a pectoral sandpiper.
