Bird Watching

The Ship is the ideal location to view some of our spectacular wildlife that live and visit the Dee Estuary. Parkgate attracts many visitors due to the extensive variety of birds that it attracts. “At high tide Pintail, Wigeon and Teal can be seen close inshore and waders continually fly past on their way to roosts at Burton. Short-eared Owls and other raptors are observed on the lookout for rodents evicted by the rising water and also Water Rails may be seen trying to escape the tide.” (www.deeestuary.co.uk)
