Lots of flamingos this year, as well as ducks, herons, egrets, cormorants and even spoonbills. There is a long boardwalk following the beach. The bird blind on the way has a poster describing the birds you can see. A beautiful spot.

This is a beautiful walk on a very well-maintained boardwalk along the estuary with interconnected paths starting in town and along the beach. Always interesting to watch the tidal changes and all of the fish and bird life around the estuary. If you are really ambitious you can walk out to the jetty.

When we arrived at the park having read the reviews I was expecting maybe it wouldn't fill our afternoon, well I was wrong. For a minimal price of £2.80 my partner and I had an amazing afternoon walking the park watching the waders, cormorants, Egrets both white and grey, numerous gulls and beautiful Herons of which there are many varieties. The bird hospital was closed on our visit but is there for a very functional reason of treating wild birds and releasing them back into the wild. The Tidal Water Mill was very interesting and the scenery spectacular. Its all there in this little oasis, you have to slow down and look for it. We were treated to seeing the Fiddler crabs before we left. The attendant upon our entrance was very attentive and gave us a map in English pointing out all facilities leaving a written contact number should we require help. His English was very good, although maps were written in several languages. This is conservation at its best, on a hot day take a picnic, binoculars and stay the day!
