At the ARC The Glossy Ibis and Egrets are still around as well as a couple of Garganey, waders are virtually non existent apart from Lapwings and the odd Dunlin, Common Sandpiper and Ringed Plover.
Burrowes has enjoyed the presence of the White Winged Tern and Black Tern but again very poor numbers of waders.
