20 September 09 Barons Haugh

Passage waders still very much in evidence at the Haugh. 3 Black Tailed Godwits & a Green Sandpiper with several hundred Lapwings.

The very low water levels have encouraged Snipe out in to the open & there were up to 20 on the exposed mud in front of the Causeway hide. The embers of summer threw up a signing Chiffchaff but all hirundines appear to have departed.

Some of the ducks now showing signs of coming out of eclipse. C 10 Shoveler with a single female/eclipse Wigeon and small numbers of Gadwall being the pick.
Lots of Snipe.
Eclipse Drake Shoveler.
Several Gadwall
