Geocache Description:

Part of our Wash Walk series of caches which is a circular walk of around 2.5 miles.

The cache is located on the Clenchwarton Parish Walk.

You are looking for a small cliplock tub in a camo bag which contains a log/pencil and a few swaps.

PLEASE stay on or very near footpaths, there is no need to cross fields as all the caches are reachable from a path.

THERE IS ON NEED TO TOUCH ANY HOGWEED IF THERE IS ANY.

Placed with kind permission from Eau Brink farms.

Migrating birds, such as geese, ducks and wading birds, come to the Wash in huge numbers to spend the winter, with an average total of around 400,000 birds present at any one time. It has been estimated that around two million birds will use the Wash for feeding and roosting during their annual migrations.

There are several nesting boxes along the marshes, but I haven't been able to find out much about when and by whom they were built. But I remember them being there for over 30 years.
