The bay is good for
seawatching its best in spring and autumn. you need the right
wind in spring its best to have a southeast and a southwest in
autumn. I have seen Slavonian grebe in winter when they are
scarce but regular here. I have also seen Gannet, common
scoter, Razorbill and on the 03/10/04 I saw a Sooty
Shearwater close to Horse Sand Fort. |

Along the beach you can
see Oystercatcher, Sanderling, turnstone, dunlin, and a good
mix of gulls. I have seen Black Headed, Common, Mediterranean,
Great Black Backed, Herring, Yellow Legged.
