Hi all,
I am hoping to go to Gib this Saturday (March 19) for the first time.
Has anyone got any advice on a good start point, route etc.
I look forward to reading some tips and thanks for helping me out on this one.

Steve, It's quite a few year since my last visit but I'll start your thread off in the hope that the regulars reply. I always started at the Wash View Point looking for raptors, then would check out Sykes Farm area, then Tennyson Hide [ one time had Long-billed Dowitcher], then the ones on opposite side of road [ had my first Yellow-browed Warbler there ]. Only once went to the dunes a long time ago. Then I'd finish off at the old cafe viewpoint. I must get there this year! Good luck. John |

Hi Steve High tide late afternoon on 19th is fairly big so should push good numbers of waders out of the Wash to roost on the outer ridges - you can get a good overview from the Wash Viewpoint or the platform by the Bird Observatory building on the East Dunes. Otherwise, look out for shorelarks on the northern saltings - 10 seen again last Saturday. Cheers Kev |

Hi John / Kev, Thanks for information, it seems weather will be reasonable tomorrow and so hopefully a good day will be had. Thanks also for the tip on the Shorelarks Kev, never seen 1 so fingers crossed there
