In teh autumn the vegetation is 4 ft high so you'll never see the water never mind any birds! Besides that though, the habitat is looking great for wildlife in general. Groppers / Sedgies etc will love it in there, and it might encourage Snipe and Redshank to breed.<br /><br />Never seen the Stobswood lagoons, but I will when the next biggie is found by Nigel or yourself!<br /><br />Dean - 200! It will be another fortnight before we get 200 sand Martins up here...Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01985665182124985194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31159349.post-32617353667692762742011-03-28T19:00:10.487+01:002011-03-28T19:00:10.487+01:00I`m still awaiting my first hirrundine of the year...I`m still awaiting my first hirrundine of the year, Stewart.

What did you think of the wader scrape...Hi Stewart<br /><br />What did you think of the wader scrapes at Warkworth? I think they could be quite a pull for migrating waders this year. There is alo a new site on your other old patch. Stobswood lagoons (near the old little owl tree). Already in use as a roost it looks as if it will be a good spot soon as the invertebrates arrive.<br />Dave EScience at Coateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10627493984041959640noreply@blogger.com
