27th Feb 2010 - NBBR

Post by Rob Hill via NBBR

I nipped along to Manor Farm, where the nature of the main lake has changed yet again. Probably as a result of all the recent rain - or possibly a change in the pumping regime - the lake is now full, with just a thin causeway, and limited mud on the northern shore. Presumably the water level will drop by spring, but currently it's not looking particularly favourable for waders. There were 3 Goosander (1m 2f) there, plus a Grey Wag.

And a reply from Chris G

Was probably about the same level this time last year Rob on the main body of water so theres a chance especially if work resumes around the inlet area and the pumps are turned back on. As you can see its down about a foot already on its max and given how shallow the area is another few inches should start to see larger areas of mud exposed. Of course todays weather will not help and i'd expect to see the valley flooded again in the morning but towards the end of last week Godwit Corner was getting down to the levels that started to attract stuff in last year.
