About the event
Booking is essential for this event.
The walk will follow part of the route described by Russell Leavett in 'Self-guided Walks' in the Members Only section of our Website - choose Winter Birding on the Stour. At this time of the year estuary birds will be in good numbers, ranging from Goldeneye, Red-breasted Mergansers, through to Pintail and Brent Geese. The mudflats should hold flocks of waders including Black- tailed Godwits, Knot, Grey Plovers and Dunlin amongst others. A great place to learn to identify wildfowl and waders.
Meet at 10am on Mistley Quay, immediately below the station or The Mistley Thorn. Mistley (The Mistley Thorn hotel/Swan Basin) - Manningtree. 10am - 2pm. Weather dependent.
The major part of this walk would be manageable even in a wheelchair or motorised buggy. If coming by car, park on the main road close to Mistley station. Toilets are available in Manningtree town…
