As Sarfraz said in an earlier post it would be an advantage to have a scope or a powerful zoom lens on a camera for anybody visiting Calf Hey.  The water level is very low (the lowest I've ever seen) and any wader walking along the shore line at the far end maybe difficult to see.

Also today various planes flying over to an air show somewhere to the west

cheers Kevin
