We definitely need more coverage at this site.
On the positive side two Waders were found this year that haven't been present for many years.
Little Stint ..............First record since 1995
Whimbrel ..............First record since 1992
Personally I don't think it's birds not turning up , I think it's a lack of coverage by birders. A lot of people these days wait for news instead of going out and finding there own. Look at the Golden Plover record above , you can't tell me that there as been no record since 1991 . They breed less than four miles away . More coverage more birds simple.
