From the hide most of the wading species were observed feeding on the exposed mud including a wonderful Wood Sandpiper. Along the reed fringed margin a single Water Rail probed about the mud looking for food before disappearing for short periods into the reeds. Near the hide a lovely stag Roe Deer fed on Crack Willow leaves which it grazed while on the move.
