Wader Passage Increasing

Yesterday at the local patch the number of waders was really starting to increase. There were two Ruff, five Green Sandpiper, fifteen Wood Sandpiper, three Little Stint, fifteen Kentish Plover and thirty two Little Ringed Plover at the percolation pond. The water level of the pond is again starting to drop and the habitat looks great for waders with plenty of muddy edges and shallow water.
