Wader wonderland
Ground nesting bird season is well underway and we’re seeing some promising wading bird breeding results at our reserves. Surveying has shown a good number of breeding pairs of lapwings and ringed plover at our Trimley Marshes Nature Reserve.
Our efforts at Snape Marshes suggest a record breeding year for waders, helped by the installation of anti-predator fences. Surveys have shown at least 26 lapwing chicks on the marshes.
