No real change in waders, just Common/Green Sandpipers and a Greenshank . Slightly worrying ,the fact that are at least 6 dead birds floating at the west end , including Teal , a gull sp and a possible grebe .

A Little Ringed Plover new in this morning (20/8), also a flock of 18 Common Terns , which flew off west at 08:30.

Low water level resulting in good wader passage over last week .As well as Common Sandpiper , up to 13 Green Sandpipers , 4 Greenshank , 2 Black-tailed Godwits, 2 Snipe and a Ruff . Also today 6 Cattle Egrets including a black billed juvenile .
