The reserve is productive throughout the year, but bird and species numbers are higher in winter when wildfowl are plentiful and at migration times, when shorebirds are numerous and rarities are most likely to be encountered.

The whole circuit of the reserve covers some 2.5 miles, for which at least a half day is recommended. Alternatively one can walk part of the sea wall from the western or eastern entrance and return the same way. Starting from the western entrance, within half a mile one will have a good view of the marshes and scrape. A minimum of an hour and a half is recommended for such a visit.
