Hook - waders and waterfowl building

From David Ord:

The numbers of waders and waterfowl on the Hook side of the Cleddau are building steadily. Golden Plover arrived a day or two ago and number over 200 today. Curlew and Redshank are now back in numbers. Others - Dunlin, Grey Plover (4), Black Tailed Godwit (5), Ringed Plover (11), Greenshank. On the waterfowl side, Wigeon were most numerous (43), Teal, Mallard and a few Shelduck. 14 Canada Geese were present on the mudflats, fewer than this time last week when there were 40+ and a similar number of Greylag Geese also.
