Latest Sightings - 7th April - summer migrants singing
Chiffchaff and Willow Warbler are in good voice this morning along the Avenues. We expect to see a Swallow any day now, and it's always worth scanning the merse for a glimpse of Osprey perched on driftwood or fishing over the high tide.
Our Osprey nest is live on CCTV in the main visitor centre... come along and follow events over a cup of delicious coffee.
Todays high tide is at 10:33, 8.2m
