Estuary-Dumbles edge at high tide
Most of the waders/wildfowl arrived from the muflats off Saul Warth where they are feeding at low tide. They did not spend too much time on the flats and headed to the dry area of the saltmarsh and dissapeared in the cattle footprints to roost. All of these birds flew close past Middle Point as the tide came in.
