Edderthorpe works!

Anyone visiting the Flash over the next couple of days should be aware that a earthmoving machine will be present in the marsh and disturbance to birds will be high. The aim is to widen some dikes to help control water levels better and to create some islands and trenches out in the marsh, to help breeding birds and to provide some exposed mud even when water levels are high. Saturday 2nd November;- Shelduck 3, Teal 500, Mallard 175, Golden Plover 450, Dunlin 1, Snipe 20 and a Jack Snipe was flushed when assessing a route in for the machine.
