Hello everyone,

How are you today? I hope that you are well.

I've been away for a couple of days, so I thought I would let you know what waders Joan (our Site Manager) spotted over the weekend!

 Keep your eyes pealed at the Draper hide as there were a couple of oystercatchers mating! I love oystercatchers, they are fabulous birds! As well as the oystercatchers there were two green sandpipers, two lapwings, one redshank and loads of ducks (pochard, tufted duck, gadwall, mallard, and even six shelduck!)

 

 

This is what they look like:
