Latest Sightings - 13th November - big tide at 1pm
The BBC are off site now and things are returning to normal. If you would like a free pumpkin from the Autumnwatch set, pick one up from the main entrance!
The tracks are very wet at the moment, so if you are coming down, please be prepared and wellies would be recommended.
Today's high tide is at 12:59 9.2m - with the strong winds of storm Abigail, the high tide could be excellent (it was yesterday). Aim to get to the Saltcot Merse Observatory around 11:30am - a Warden will be there.
