The new islands are providing a great habitat for wildlife already

Wading Birds have found their way to the newly created islands at Fleet Pond

3 Lapwing have been seen using the islands for the past few weeks.  The islands are regularly littered with a variety of birds including Herons, Swans and Geese.

On Sunday we were very lucky to spot a Dunlin feeding on one of the new islands.  They are a wading bird and use their beak to prod the soft mud and find tasty invertebrates such as worms.
