Called in on my way to Chambers farm wood and there were 7 Wood Sandpipers on the pool to the right of the hide at 15:00. |

I must admit that I only know of the Hide overlooking the lagoon .....which is where I spend my time when visiting Fiskerton Fen. Can anyone provide the directions from that Hide to the one 'behind the pumping station' with the pool /Wood Sandpipers? Many thanks. Freddy |

My son Alex and I also checked out the 'other hide' area this morning towards midday. Our sightings more or less corresponded to Chris's post, with not a single Wood Sand. remaining.  Regards, Freddy |
