Small sheltered hide on Montrose Basin offering close views of wintering wigeon, teal and other wildfowl on tidal mudflats and reed fringes. Best at dawn and early morning when flocks are active and light is soft; autumn–spring brings the largest numbers. Accessible via short walk from the Montrose Basin Visitor Centre car park off the A935; paths and a boardwalk lead to hides (check seasonal opening). No special permits for the hide but respect quiet rules and disturbance limits. Parking on‑sit
