Ruff numbers are creeping up with at least 42 birds. Some outstanding views of this localised wader are to be had from the Discovery Hide and the Raines Observatory.

See the previous few days worth of reports for a fuller picture.

It should be possible to see over 60 species in a full days bird watching at Martin Mere. If you would like to know the best spots, up to date info or to report any sightings then please call in at the in focus shop next to the Discovery Hide.
