Description

Rushy Point is an important location for Red-necked Stint and Grey Plover and supports a range of other shorebirds as well as terns, pelicans and fowl. There is a small patch of samphire that has Pacific Golden Plover. It's easily accessible on a mid-tide. Avoid high tides when the birds are roosting as they cannot be counted without disturbing them. See a link to the tides table below. A scope is highly recommended.
