Ruff

Last day on the island for a time... A brief look over and walk round Brading (north end/Laundry Lane to New Bridge) with waders on my mind.. Sure enough two Ruff (adult and juvenile) suddenly dropped in near the bridge. The pool has obviously contracted somewhat with the recent prolonged drought conditions, but just enough of it is still wet and muddy; sure to lure in some more waders over the next month or so...
