Recent Sightings - 10th December 2018
Count taken at low tide this morning.
We've been very fortunate of late to have regular views of the Kingfisher over the Wadermarsh in the mornings. Its being seen regularly sitting on posts around the sluice area. Keep an eye out for this bird from the Brent Hide; it's striking blue stripe down it's back to it's tail is very distinctive when sitting.
