Guide in a Hide (GIAH) is part of the Discover Rye Harbour project, funded by the National Lottery Fund through Sussex Wildlife trust (SWT).

The GIAH team comprises volunteers from SWT and the Friends.

Guide in a Hide days are always joyous days. But this event was very special as an Osprey turned up around lunchtime and sat nicely in front of the Gooders hide for 30 minutes or so. As word spread, the GIAH team were not only able to show it to visitors from the hide but also visitors from the Discovery Centre – they could see it through the telescope!

The numbers of visitors who have come along to GIAH since our first event in August 2021 has almost reached 5000, which is amazing! And our feedback is always good, as you can see below!
