West Shore

 

 
The West Shore are the mud flats along the west side of hayling. This mud is great for waders Oystercatcher, Dunlin, Turnstone, Whimbrel, Curlew, Redshank, Grey Plover ect. This is the first Place I see Brent Geese each year. A mix of gulls can be seen here too. At high tide I have seen lots of Great Crested Grebe, well over 30 Cormorant and groups of over 10 Red Breasted Merganser. There are lots of Tall marker polls in the mud Cormorant sit on these. The other birds that sit on these polls are Osprey during there migration at least three osprey have been seen on these polls at one time around the harbour. The fastest way of getting here is to go all the way to the end of North Shore Road go though the gap in the bush at the end of the road. You are now just next to where the above photo was taken.
