Unfortunately can not do a true report on this reserve as it was freezing cold and blowing a gale . But from what I saw it's probably a lovely place for a nice walk with some great wildlife. We did enjoy the walk and got to see a few things . On the down side place took some finding as ended up parking in a layby

Islay marsh, great for bird spotting including the spoonbills. Great that you can again park at Yelland Quay, walk up the Tarka trail to Islay Marsh. The Tarka trail is always a delight.

I used to visit every week until the land owner decided to place huge concrete blocks along the access road to prevent parking. I still go (via Instow) and it's still the same peaceful place. Great for bird watching and dog walking.

I am sure it is great for the birds which is the main thing, but if you want to visit its hard to find, hard to park, bit of a trek to get to, and not much to see when you do. So, I'd not go out of my way to visit, leave it for the birds. Which is no problem at all.

A natural salt marsh that is often missed by tourists visiting North Devon. Important roosting area for Curlew and whimbrel. Also a good chance of seeing osprey and spoonbill.
