... Missing title ...
We finally saw a Swallow yesterday afternoon, and will hopefully have more appearing over the next few days. The sun is shining and the birds are in full song today.
It's a fantastic day to enjoy some Spring weather and see
Our Osprey nest is live on CCTV in the main visitor centre... come along and follow events over a cup of delicious coffee.
As you can see, one of them is currently perched on top of the camera, giving us a tantalising silhouette...
Todays high tide is at 11.29, 8.6m
