Wader numbers this week have been very high this week with the large high tides in the mornings pushing over a thousand waders onto the lagoons. These have included: large numbers of Curlews, Black tailed godwits and Redshank. There were also particularly high numbers of Greenshank with up to 74 birds roosting on the lagoon. A Spoonbill has also been seen feeding on the fresh water lagoon.
