  • Timing and strategy

Best from End of January to Mid-May. Starts off with large amounts of waterfowl in the winter months, transitions to warblers midway through spring and finally the swamp dries out exposing mudflats that gives great feeding grounds for waders!

This may include for instance:
• best season
• best time of the day
