The meadows around our reserve are being cut this week as part of our reserve management plan. This may mean there's some disturbance around Wader Lake and saline lagoon. Thank you for your patience as we do this essential work.

Oystercatcher chick and adults Wader Lake June 2014

Oystercatcher, avocet and redshank - oh my!

Wader Lake's chicks are growing up fast, with six avocets due to fledge any day now, grey heron juveniles learning to fish and the brood of redshank still visible with their parents on most days.

Check out this short video of them in action (then make space in your diary to come and see them for yourself!)
