Eight species of wader were seen in this period which included the second Avocet of the year and eight whimbrel. Good numbers of common warblers present in recent days with the first Grasshopper Warbler of the year heard by Paul Butler today. Yellow Wagtail, Wheatear and Common Tern seen in small numbers. Two broods of Mallards were seen yesterday one with eleven ducklings.
