With very high tides, the marshes at Parkgate get inundated with water which comes in a surge up the Dee estuary. This strands lots of voles and other creatures and these are easy pickings for Gulls, Egrets, Kestrels etc. Our visit on Sunday had quite overcast conditions but the sun came through periodically early on in the visit giving causing great changes to the landscape. I spent quite a time trying to get a feel for the vastness and the coexistence of such an abundance of wildlife and the many industries based on the Estuary. The rest of the time I captured the action as many voles met their death.
