We park in the free car park & head off to find the first hide, it's a fairly long walk but not to bad & a birder on the way back tells us the bird is still around & points us in the right direction.
We enter the small hide to find 5 others already in there & we are put onto the bird straight away so a nice & easy tick. We get a great view of the bird probably our best view of a Pec.
Not to much else about just Ring Plover, a couple of Ruff, some Lapwing,1 Green Sandpiper, plenty of Pied Wagtails & 1 Yellow Wagtail dropped down in front of the hide. We have never been here before & find it a nice place to visit, the people in the hide were very friendly & we spend a good hour watching the Pec & having a good laugh.
So a year tick not to far from home on a nice warm day, well pleased we decided to go for the bird.
There are 2 other hides to visit but one of the birders tells us there is not much around & it will be a long walk for not much reward tick wise, so we head back to the car & off for home.
