View from Sunny Corner or the wooded walk to Malpas. Best known for a varied selection of waders including wintering flocks of up to 100 Uferschnepfe and 400 Alpenstrandläufer. These are joined by the most westerly wintering Säbelschnäbler with up to 4 along with regular Grünschenkel, Regenbrachvogel, Flußuferläufer and the occasional Dunkler Wasserläufer.
In passage periods these are joined by small numbers of Knutt, Pfuhlschnepfe and Sandregenpfeifer. Wintering wildfowl includes good numbers of Brandgans, Pfeifente and Krickente.
