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. :cry:

Freddy
