In my last blog I said we had to control the water levels and we were pumping water out of bottom tank - and that is where we saw the Glossy Ibis. The Ibis is still on the reserve but yesterday it was on Back Saltholme and Dormans pools so we could effect at permanent solution (the old drains no longer working) to the water without disturbing it.
A trench was cut in the bottom tank bund and a large diameter pipe installed which has an adjustable end to give fine control of the water level.

We now have better control so can create mud - and expose it - as we need.
We were treated to a fly-past by the Ibis.
