Good hide, but unfortunately did not see very much. It is quite high up from the water and doesn’t have a great view of the sky for birds. Saw heaps of seals by going down to the ferry slipway.

Bring your own binoculars and take the time to spot the animals. Good information about which animals might be visible can be found in the hut. We spotted otters and seals there.
