Windy weather and big tides
The wind has now dropped so the Avenue and Summer Walk have reopened and the sun is shining!
The high tide is at 13:47 and is a big one, with this wind behind it could be quite a spectacle. 500 Pintail, Shelduck and Dunlin were seen over the high tide yesterday from the Saltcot Merse Observatory.
The first two Tufted Ducks of the season have dropped in on the Whooper Pond and there are still plenty of Snipe and Teal on the Folly Pond
