Raining Plovers
The foul weather yesterday and this morning has some benefits...9
juvenile Little Ringed Plover took shelter on the Folly Pond yesterday
afternoon and at least 4 have stayed to this morning. Only views are
from Sharp's Lookout (we are working to get Folly Pond Hide open ASAP).
Hopefully the rain will ease through the day, and the summer walks will be more pleasant but this weather can turn up interesting birds on the ponds as they drop in to escape the rain and wind.
High Tide: 14:53, 9.2m
Opening times:
10am - 4pm
Last entry 3pm
