The area is also an internationally renowned spot for bird watchers with a large number of nesting and resting birds.

Complete rules for the nature reserve can be found via the link below, but, for example, no dogs or cats or other animals are allowed in the area unless they are on a lead, you are not allowed to pitch a tent or park a caravan without the permission of the landowner or manager and may only beach a boat temporarily.
