Burden Bros backing Kent’s waders

A massive thank you to the Burden Bros who have created some fantastic new wader scrapes and wet rills at Mockett’s Farm on the Isle of Sheppey. It is heartening to see farmers undertaking projects on land at their own expense to benefit wildlife.

The new scrapes and rills should be invaluable to birds like lapwing and avocet who already breed nearby and also benefit wintering geese and summer residents such as yellow wagtail.

Thanks especially to John Burden and farm manager Ryan McCormack for putting up with my pestering and coming good on their promises.
