All around this area are superb examples of tidal mud flats and salt marsh with an abundance of rare flora and fauna.
The bird population reaches a peak in winter with many thousands of migrant waders, Cooper Swans, Barnacle geese and pink footed geese. Over 70 species have been recorded and many occasional rarities such as snow bunting, skewer and unusual and rare gulls visiting the salt marsh and surrounding areas. Raptors such as Merlin, Peregrine, Harriers along with the more common sparrowhawks and kestrel often seen in the area..
There are significant and important nature reserves all around Silloth, Including raised bogs and important bird, flower and butterfly sites. Life goes on alongside the nature and the shrimp fleet is active throughout the year in the Firth (and can be bought locally). Salmon are still caught in the Estuary by the age-old method of Haaf netting (under licence). Of course the Solway Firth forms one of the main routes for returning Atlantic salmon to enter some of the finest salmon rivers in the country.
The marsh does flood in high tides in winter, so sometimes the cache could be be inaccesable unless you have a good pair of wellies.
Happy caching!
You will need to remember your tweezers to extract the log!! Please also replace cache carefully back in it's hiding place, thank you
