Hi everyone,
How are you today?
Have you been enjoying the nice weather over the last couple of days?

We are recording all waders that we see on the reserve, and we need your help! We would like to you let us know what waders you see, where, when and how many (and if you have any pictures that would be lovely too!)
Passage waders play a very important role in providing us with a measure of how effective our wetland management is. Areas that are carefully managed will provide feeding and breeding areas for many wading birds - and provide us with fantastic views. For more about the Love Passage Waders Challenge read this Rye Meads blog post.

The Sandpipers were outside the Tern Hide, either on the Island or on the dead wood to the right of the Hide.
The LRPs were outside the Draper Hide, mainly on the island.
The Lapwing were either around the Draper or in the field.....

Hi Graham,
Ooh thank you for that! That is perfect! Can I ask where were they?
Thank you! :)
Hi Louise,
I was at the Reserve yesterday, together with Shane and aiki - you may have seen our report! I saw at least 3 Common Sandpipers; 3 Little Ringed Plovers and 3 Lapwing. I did tell the guys on the desk just before I left! I'll put a photo up of the Sandpiper soon.
Best wishes, Graham
