Hi Paul
I have been going there for a few years and have watched it progress from very little to what it is now. You never know what will turn up there, remember the Bufflehead last year. Also 17 Bean Geese were there for quite a while last year also. Short eared Owl have been in good numbers in previous years but this year only the odd is being reported.
The new pit looks excellent for waders at the moment and I can honestly think that it may well challenge Drayton Basset soo for the odd mega.
