Description
Hest Bank Beach is not too far from the M6 if you are driving past and has plentiful road side parking outside of summer beach season. On the right evening it can be a lovely place to take a stroll and then watch the sunset with a cup of tea and picnic before continuing your journey. In the hour or so before high tide (see link to tide table below) most birds will have been pushed to within viewing distance, although dog walkers may scare off flocks occasionally.
In winter Hjejle, Stor Præstekrave, Strandskade, Sortklire, Stor Kobbersneppe and Almindelig Ryle are all possible. Fiskehejre, Silkehejre, Storspove and Vibe are likely year round. Gravand, Ederfugl and Toppet Lappedykker may be seen on the water.
