CWP wader fest

1 April - A quick look around this morning on a beautiful, sunny spring day ........ no less than 10 species of wader logged - Ruff, and Redshank, at both Eysey and Twitcher's Gate, a Dunlin at Eysey, also there Snipe and Oystercatcher plus displaying Lapwings - the Ringed Plover on pit 200 and a Curlew on the scrape at pit 74. LRP and Green Sandpiper also seen. Not very often the wader species log gets into double figures in the Water Park ! ALso a lots of Blackcaps and Chiffchaffs singing. A post-work look at 74 scrape finally gave me good ‘scope views of the pair of Garganey that have been present for a week or so, feeding along the edge of the reeds.....the drake in particular looking very smart in the evening sun.
