Having been regular (often ridiculously regular in the early
days!) since it's first
'discovery' in the autumn of 1992, this site has produced some real county
birding highlights for me most noticeably in the wader department and the
impressive flocks of them it used to 'drag in', my best 'site blockers' over the
years however are Marsh Harrier, Osprey, Merlin, Little Gull, Turtle Dove,
Bittern, Pied
Flycatcher and Treecreeper, I've also seen 27 species of wader which includes
Sanderling and Turnstone. Birds I have missed over the years, though few and far
between are Black Tern, Iceland Gull, Mediterranean Gull and Long-eared Owl.

Andy's lists includes Pectoral Sandpiper, Sandwich Tern, Temminck's Stint
(both the former were self-found), Water Pipit, Mediterranean Gull and 23
species of wader in total but still has a few species he 'needs'.
added Marsh Harrier in 2011 |
