Martin Hughes-Games tells the story of the flocks of waders which are drawn to the UK's estuaries.  Britain's estuaries contain around 2,900 square kilometres of mud and sand-flats. Washed daily by the tides, these places are packed with food, molluscs, worms and crustaceans that support thousands of waders.
