NieDodatkowe informacje
When the Rivermouth is closed to the sea, you can access the adjoining Comerong Island Nature reserve.
Please keep a respectable distance from the birds as not to disturb or flush them. It is important to stay outside all fenced nesting areas.
Check tides (see the link to the tides table below). Birds can be a long way off at low tide depending on conditions at the time. High tide or 1-2 hrs either side is best for viewing roosting birds.
