Brading

I'm definitely guilty of neglecting this area of late, but had look about today:
One LRP of note near the new bridge; but it's very dry there now compared to previous years I'd say. Up to 40 yellow wags with the cattle. And at least one great white egret seen. Plenty of hirundines in every direction - and a couple of hobbies hawking. Whinchat etc.
