The raptor watchpoint is a bench overlooking the saltmarsh, accessed by walking south along the seabank from the main steps for about 500m.

Also seen today:

Waxwing - one landed in the hedgerow near the visitor centre for a coupl eof minutes this afternoon before flying off into the mist.

Lapland bunting - 7+ on the scrapes

Cheers,

PF.
