Donna Nook re-alignment is similar in many repects to Hesketh Out Marsh or
Freiston Shore RSPB, all of them are large areas of former farmland which have
been surrounded by a new sea wall to allow the sea in to ease the pressure of
rising sea levels on towns higher up the river. It's also called managed
retreat, although that name is perhaps not so popular because it implies that
we've lost the battle, which if course we have....
Most of the birds
today were on the re-alignment scheme, and these inlcuded about 50 twite, 20
avocets and lots of redshank and dunlin.
Twite.
Roe deer.
