Descripción
The Duddon Estuary, nestling between the Lakeland fells and the Irish Sea, is a dynamic and diverse environment. The expanses of sand and mud flats laid down by retreating glaciers thousands of years ago are constantly reworked by the tides providing unique and varied habitats. If the tide is high, then geese, waders and waterfowl will be visible from the shore next to the railway, including winter migrants. A regular assemblage of over 20,000 wintering waterfowl (wildfowl, waders and seabirds) and during severe winters numbers may exceed 70,000, including Tarro Blanco , Serreta Mediana , Ostrero Euroasiático , Chorlitejo Grande , Correlimos Común and Zarapito Real .
