Cuckmere Estuary Partnership

Q: If the present grassed areas adjoining the river meanders (both above and below the causeway) become saltmarshes, will we lose the enormous flocks of geese which currently parade these grass areas and daily fly up and down to Arlington reservoir in magnificent honking ‘v’ formations?

A: The geese (Canada Geese mostly) will probably move to grassland areas north of Exceat bridge to feed but they may well roost in the new estuary at high tide, so it is likely that this spectacle will continue at least some of the time though it is difficult to say for sure.
