Witness the bird spectacle of a spring high tide at this wild and secluded part of the RSPB Dee Estuary reserve.

About this event

By March our winter visitors will be starting to think about their journey north for breeding season, so don't miss this last chance to catch the impressive Point of Ayr high tide roost that shows how important the Dee Estuary is for a variety of wetland birds.

Thousands of godwits, redshanks, oystercatchers and curlews gather in spectacular fashion on the saltmarsh and shingle here at high tide, which is what we hope to show you if you join us on this gentle walk from Talacre to our hide. There'll also be a variety of ducks pushed close on the incoming tide, plus there have been a flock of Brent geese around much of the winter. Peregrine and merlin are the two raptors most likely to take advantage of this high tide buffet, so there's a chance of seeing these hunting at close range.

Park in one of the public car parks signposted from Station Road and meet outside 'The Point' bar at the end of Station Road. Car parks are Pay & Display so don't forget some coins. Appropriate clothing and footwear are essential. The path is fully accessible, but an A-frame motorcycle gate at the beginning of the walk may make it difficult for larger wheelchairs.

Feel free to pack lunch and snacks for in the hide, and a hot flask is recommended at this time of year! Public toilets and places to purchase refreshments will be available in Talacre before and afterwards.
