I caught up with one of the
Garganeys at the centre today, and after doing three rounds of the hides I jammed into it swimming a few metres in front of the Goodall's hide. It was so close I could hear it's quiet crackling call.

There were impressive numbers of waders on the lagoon considering it was low tide. I didn't have time to count them, but there were c.350+
Black-tailed Godwit (including some stunning summer plumage birds), c.100+
Redshank, eight
Greenshank and three
Spotted Redshank which were starting to gain some flecks of their summer plumage.
