The birds of the moment are the 5 juvenile Garganey (2 broods) that can be seen on Bottom Tank and Wildlife Watchpoint, and the female Smew that is hanging around on the Allotment Pool.

The abundant mud is still bringing in the waders with over 300 Dunlin currently on Dorman's Pool. We've also got 60 Dunlin at Saltholme Hide, with up to 3 Greenshank, 7 Ruff, 14 Black-tailed Godwits, 4 Green Sandpiper, 1 Wood Sandpiper and 1 Little Stint scattered around the various pools. Juvenile Yellow Wagtails are following the cows around and 2 Bittern were seen at Haverton on Wednesday.
And look who's back......................................
