Last night, Monday 6th October, we had the annual evening High Tide watch at WWT to tie in with some of the biggest tides of the year.
Meeting around 5.30pm, a group of 20 guests met with evening leader Dr.Brian Briggs, other staff and volunteers, including myself, before heading to the British Steel hide. For the next hour or so we watched the large tide come in, filling the right hand side of the marsh (from our viewing point).
Hundreds of birds, including Redshank, Black tailed Godwit, Kingfisher, Peregrine, Curlew Sandpiper, Curlew, Cormorant, Greenshank, Ruff, Canada Geese, Spoonbill, etc.
A great night as usual, and well-supported.
Thanks to all who came along.
