The Orcs appear to have stopped taking water on Thursday 25/09/14, finally removing their infernal pump on Sunday 28/09/14. The vast reduction in water cover has induced fear/lack of confidence into the wildfowl who now flush as soon as you are visible. Although bird activity and numbers have been down, human activity has been very much on the up, so busy infact I haven't bothered stopping to even give the place a quick scope, until yesterday and today, when wigeon[12], shoveler[1] and pintail [2] were present albeit briefly. Also the passage wheatear appear to be getting bigger.
Great to read our up date and I will go up there when you are a away daily .
