Last night's pumping has left us with another great area of exposed mud and very shallow water on Purfleet Scrape and Nicole has been out there this afternoon with the tractor, topping the taller vegetation for the first time this season so it should see more waders dropping in to this inviting habitat. Waders today are much as yesterday and the Egrets quickly found the newly drained area to their liking!
