17 Black tailed God Wits this (Sat.) p.m. maybe the first of many.? No Redshank yet! The duck nos. are still holding up plenty of Wigeon, Shoveller and Teal plus 15 or so Pintail and half a dozen Gadwall. Two G.W.Egrets, one showing signs of breeding plumage. Water level now is 1.69M A.O.D.  with emerging spring vegetation making the level look lower than it actually is.
