Hi,

I was wondering if Donna Nook is only productive if low tide is in the afternoon, or are there plenty (as many) oppurtunities to be had at any time of the day,irrespective of when low tide is?

Thanks,

There is the fence line which is public access and that can be accessed at nearly all states of the tide - but you have to juggle around Mrs Ohhhh Ahhhhh.

The 'flats' are the best opportunity and are only easily accessable on and around half to low tide (and only productive during the hours of daylight :wink:)

This Sunday the low tide is at 9.40am ish (I think!) so you should get a good mornings worth of photography on the flats.

Thinking of going? A few of us may be there Sun.

Thanks Tom.
Not decided when to go yet.
Was considering going this weekend,but could have a cold/flu on the way,so crawling around on the wet sand may not be the best remedy,and I'd prefer to keep it at bay,if possible,what with Christmas coming up.
Wimp I hear you cry :rolleyes: :biggrin:
So may try for just after Christmas.

You should have a good day,weather's looking promising,so far,according to the Met office.

Will there still be seals and pups there in late January?
