Sunday 19th July 2015

The forecast weather didn't materialise and instead we have had a really sunny day although a westerly breeze kept the temperature down.

High tide tonight was due at 9:28pm, so I spent from 6pm - 7:30pm watching out over the estuary.

The tide started to creep almost imperceptibly over the sand banks as it did so eleven Whimbrel were flushed and flew up river.

Magical!!!!!

The high tide, which is a 7.4m tide, will cover all the visible sand and mud tonight.
