River Stell - 1 Little Egret and 1 Kingfisher.

Alan's Pool - 2 Kingfisher, 3 Little Ringed Plover, 1 Ruff, 9 Moorhen and 2 Common Buzzard.

Fishburn Lake - Water levels are well down on normal, producing some excellent habitat for wader's and 22 Ruff and 6 Dunlin were taking advantage this morning (presumably refugees from Castle Lake).

Fishburn Lake - definitely worth the effort if your looking for waders.
