|
The Kench is a small
nature reserve part of it is a (sssi) or sites of special
scientific interest. At low tide waders and Brent Geese feed
on the mud. At high tide there are a few places where the
waders roost in large numbers. After the mud is covered by the
sea there is a small island that dose not get covered until
the tide it right up you can view this island from the end of
the path in the above photo. The kench is 3/4 of the way down
Ferry Road. |
