Cockersand



Cockersand is just south of Glasson Dock, at the mouth of the River Lune.

The area near the ruined Cockersands Abbey is known as Plover Scar, and this is a good place to spot a variety of waders and wildfowl, especially in winter. Today has been no exception, with 3 egrets among the feeding birds.



It may look a bleak and empty place but the saltmarsh is teeming with life.
