Tuesday 24th August 2010 - Evening

17:30 > 18:00
17c cloud, westerly wind.

Lapwing numbers have increased to around a dozen now with three juveniles in tow. With my doubts about good wader habitat gone now with the new landscaping it was good to the three Green Sandpipers on site but i'm not holding my breath just yet for anything more substansial this autumn. Two Teal dozed in the inlet and that was about it.

Noticable however was the rise in levels on the moving water on site. The River Ouse is I would guess around a foot or two higher than it normally is this time of year and while the pools on Back Brook are gradually filling 'Front' Brook is now flowing at a depth of a foot or so along its entire length.
