Mid-week Morning Walk: Minnis Bay towards Reculver
Wed 19 Nov 2025 8:30 AM - 12:00 PM GMT
Walk Leader: Phil Poole
This morning's walk will start at The Parade, Minnis Bay and walk along the sea wall towards Reculver, returning in the reverse direction. We will be looking for any shoreline birds, but also looking out to sea for duck, geese, gulls, etc and for passerines on the landward side. High tide is approx. 11.40 a.m., so we should see birds coming into roost on the shoreline. The walk will last about 3.5 hours.
