Past Events
On an extremely cold day, the glorious sunshine made it the perfect winter’s day for our first Guide in a Hide of the year.
As the water poured into the salt marsh, the birds came much closer to the hide and visitors had fabulous views of feeding Redshank, Dunlin, Grey Plover, Curlew and Skylark virtually all day. However it was probably the distant Kingfisher, with us for most of the day, which was a star attraction.
A massive 163 visitors came along and really warmed us up with their enthusiasm, knowledge and amazement at what they could see. We actually saw 45 different species during the day!
Thank you so much for coming. Next one is Saturday 7th February 10am until 3pm. See you then.

Past Events
What great Guide in a Hide day we had yesterday, largely in sunshine, and ending with a rainbow!
The fantastic high tide gave us over 50 different species of birds to show our 131 visitors. The 1500 or so Golden Plover were spectacular when whirling around, the Wigeon whistled all day, the Spoonbill showed up, and a Kingfisher gave a few lucky visitors their first ever sighting.
This is our 4th year of running this wonderful and popular event. In that time the team has given 1700 hours of time and had the pleasure of welcoming over 8100 visitors!
We are continually thrilled to see the interest, excitement and amazement in people’s faces at seeing birds close up and learning something about them. In particular, the children, looking, listening and learning give us enormous pleasure and make giving up our time so very rewarding.
Thank you so much for coming along and we hope to see you again next time, Sunday 9th November 10am until 3pm.
