Description

The Eden Estuary Centre in Guardbridge is a perfect spot for bird watching. The centre is a bird hide and also a small visitor center in one and has a toilet inside. The bulk of the Eden Estuary reserve is made up of rich intertidal mud and sand flats that support a huge variety and volume of bird life including waders, ducks, divers and grebes. For example Barge à queue noire, Barge rousse, Huîtrier pie, Pluvier argenté, Chevalier gambette, Tadorne de Belon, Oie à bec court and Harle huppé. Possibilty of Pygargue à queue blanche. You might also have a chance of spotting interesting mammals including otter, dolphin and common seal.

Viewing is best in the couple of hours before/after high tide when the birds are concentrated near the hide - at low tide the birds can be very distant. See a link to the tides table below.
