Pagham harbour/north wall

After all the rain of the last few weeks the north wall fields are now completely flooded and have become a haven for large numbers of waders and wildfowl.Today there were at least 3000 lapwing,1000 black-tailed godwit, and 400 golden plover as well wigeon,teal and shoveler. One of the two bitterns showed well out in the open for five minute before heading back into the cover of the reeds.
