Had a wander over to Druridge Pools after lunch today. The main pool was very quiet when we first got there with only three little grebes on it and a couple of mallards but it didn't take long for the birds to start flying in, firstly came 14 whoopers a few at a time follwed by hundreds of mixed ducks - mallards, teal and wigeon mainly. next was the turn of the lapwing - hundreds came in off the beach and joined the whoopers in the field behind the main pool but a tractor came right through the field five minutes or so later lifting everything the hoopers flew into the field to the left and the lapwings flew straight over the oddie hide and onto the other ponds.
