harrycatcat1 Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I was up at 03.20 and on my way I got there at approx 05.30 and it was cold even though it said 3.5C on the car. The tide was 6.9m at 05.11. I got to the top of the sea wall and it was black real black as it was overcast and no moon so I gave it 5 minutes for my eyes to adjust but I got settled in well before dawn . Anyway nothing came over to shoot so once it got light I had a mooch around the marsh but soon after the fog started rolling in so I checked my compass just to be on the safe side and made my way off the marsh and the only thing I shot were photos so I hope you are not bored with them but this is what I was doing this morning. Its my last trip this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrispti Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Looks a nice peaceful place mate. Good on you for carrying a compass too, the fog can move in quick and disorientate the most experienced of fowlers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet1747 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 this may be a silly question as it is my first season to , do you need permission to go on the marsh lands ,moors etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Not sure about England but I think most are covered/owned by Wildfowling Clubs In God's Country you can shoot the Crown Foreshore bellow the HWM except a few reserves/local liscensed areas ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh1 Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Nice pics,you can feel the atmosphere. I wouldn't have liked to build the bailey bridge in the pics,would be a nightmare in all that mud. Pity nothing came over for your last visit,but that's what makes it addictive,not knowing what will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right I have all on walking in the mud never mind working in it and building a bridge I have adopted a half walk half run and dont stop in on place if you are trying to get through the mud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

washwildfowler Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 lads probably being a bit thick here but can you define for me what high water mark and sea wall means when talking about wildfowling thanks HWM the level reached by sea water at high tide or by other stretches of water in flood SEA WALL a protective structure of stone or concrete; extends from shore into the water to prevent a beach from washing away , in this case the sea wall were talking about would be the marsh bank ... you can see in the photo,s ..
