Reserve Update Tuesday 14th June
The meadow on the summer walk is really starting to come into its own. As well as the numerous northern marsh orchid, the twayblade orchid now has flower stalks and there is yellow rattle, lesser trefoil, red clover and buttercups. This has given the area a distinct yellow and purple hue!
Today's high tide is at 08:21 7.6m
