A quick look over the marsh from Culfor Road just before sunset produced counts of 212 Redshank (still no Yellowlegs even though it regularly disappears from WWT), 224 Curlew, 19 Whimbrel, 14 Black-tailed Godwit, 5 Common Sandpipers and 100+ Greylags, which have ‘hefted’ to this part of the marsh in recent weeks. The best observation however was seeing hovercraft man, who’s one-man-hovercraft had conked out off Culver Road,dragging his machine across the flooded marsh. Let’s hope it deters him from getting any more adventurous as the disturbance he causes on his high tide tours is unbelievable!
