Message: <blockquote data-quote="gonvena" data-source="post: 1392206" data-attributes="member: 66624">Good morning one and all. It has to be said yet again, Treraven Meadow looked superb this morning. It had obviously flooded on the high tide and had loads of pools over the whole 30 acres. The smaller 10 acre meadow was wet and muddy but was without a twitter anywhere. Overall a real credit to James Burke and the team from the EA who created it.Canadas 63, L. Egret 1, Teal 14, Lapwing 46, C. Snipe 2, Curlew 14, C. Sand 2, Greenshank 1, Grey Wag 1, Water pips 2 +?, loadsa Meadow pips, plus Wigeon, Mallard etc.How's about this for an idea. Just before Wadebridge Junction, on the Camel Trail, opposite the confluence of the Allen / Camel. Build a raised platform against the wooded bank to look over into Clapper. The marsh could be scoped quite easily from there. The only problem I could envisage is the location would need to be adjusted, so that it doesn't look into the houses at Clapper, only the marsh. Any thoughts on that.Can I suggest that next week we all meet up at Guineaport, to chat about the proposed location of the hide / viewing area etc. etc. I'm free all week, any time. Once we have definite proposals we can approach James et al.</blockquote>
