Latest Sightings - 5th December - roads are flooding!

The weather is wild down here, with gale force winds and torrential rain, the roads are becoming flooded and they will only get worse. Please think carefully about heading out, and only travel if you have to.

Not much in the way of sightings today as I am struggling to see out of the hides.

Today's high tide is at 07:24  7.3m
