# Low Tide {style="cover" issue="Issue 3 · Winter 2026" strap="Mud, birds, boats and the people who watch them"}

# In this issue {style="feature" kicker="Welcome"}

Low Tide is made twice a year by the people who walk the river path at Pill. It is printed on the cheapest paper the printer has, folded by hand at the sailing club, and left in the pub, the post office and the bird hide. Take one. Leave it for somebody else when you have read it.

This winter we follow the dunlin that come back to the mud every October, talk to the last man in the village who still builds wooden boats, and print a tide table for the months when the light goes early. The cover is a heavier card than the pages inside it, so it survives a pocket and a little rain.

# The dunlin come back {style="feature" kicker="Birds"}

They arrive in the second week of October, a few dozen at first and then, within days, a thousand or more, feeding along the tideline in a moving grey band. Dunlin are small, about the size of a starling, with a long bill that droops at the tip. In winter they lose the black belly of their breeding plumage and turn the colour of the mud they feed on, which is why most people who walk the path never notice them until they lift.

When they lift, everybody notices. A flock of dunlin in the air turns as one bird: grey as it banks away from you, white as it turns back and shows its underside. On a clear afternoon at the top of the tide, when the mud is covered and the birds have nowhere left to feed, the flock rises off the saltmarsh and turns over the water for minutes at a time, flashing like a shoal of fish.

They come from the Arctic: from the tundra of northern Russia and Scandinavia, where they breed in the short summer and leave as soon as the young can fly. A dunlin ringed on the mud below the church in 2019 was caught again the following summer on the Taymyr Peninsula, five thousand kilometres away, and back on the same stretch of mud the October after.

Joan has counted them every Sunday morning for eleven winters, from the hide, with a tally counter in her coat pocket. Her highest count was 4,200, in January 2021, after a week of frost on the moors drove birds down from the reservoirs. Her lowest was 380. She does not know why the numbers swing so much from year to year, and nor, she says, does anybody else.

At dusk the flock goes to roost on the shingle spit below the old ferry steps, the last ground the tide leaves dry. From the path you hear them before you see them: a thin, purring trill passed along the flock like a rumour. By March the first of them show black on the belly again, and by the middle of April the mud is quiet.

## How to see them

Come two hours before high water and stand on the slipway by the sailing club. As the tide pushes in, the birds are driven up the mud towards you, closer and closer, until they give up and fly. Bring binoculars, and keep dogs on a lead below the hide: a bird that is flushed off the mud in winter spends energy it cannot afford.

The best days are the spring tides marked in bold in the tide table on page 6, when the water comes right up to the saltmarsh. On a neap tide the birds stay far out and you will want a telescope. If the wind is in the west, stand in the lee of the boat shed; the dunlin will be doing the same on the far side of the creek.

## What else to look for

Among the dunlin there are usually a few ringed plover, rounder and paler, that run and stop where the dunlin walk and probe. Curlew stand alone further out, and the redshank is the one that sees you first and tells the whole estuary. A peregrine has hunted the flock every winter since 2017: when the birds bunch tight and climb, look above them.

# The last boatbuilder {style="feature" kicker="People"}

Dennis Harcombe built his first boat at fourteen, in his father’s shed on Marine Parade, and his last one at seventy-eight. He reckons there were forty in between, give or take, most of them clinker-built dinghies of larch on oak, the kind every family on the river once kept at the bottom of the garden.

“The trick of it,” he says, “is that you never fight the wood. You look at a plank and you see which way it wants to bend, and you let it.” He still steams planks in a length of drainpipe over a camping stove, though these days only to repair other people’s boats.

His shed is the last on the river where you can buy a pair of oars made to measure. He makes them from ash, shaves the looms by hand and charges what he charged in 1990, because, he says, the price was fair then and the oars have not got any better.

When he talks about the river he talks about the mud first: where it shifts, where the channel has moved since he was a boy, where a boat can sit out a tide and where it will be swallowed to the thwarts. He has watched the estuary change for seventy years and does not think it is finished.

# Tide table {style="feature" kicker="December to February"}

High water at Pill, in local time. Add about twenty minutes for the tide to reach the slipway at the sailing club. Spring tides, the biggest of the month, are marked in bold: on those days the mud below the hide is covered completely.

:::paragraphs{style="tides"}

:::

Times are for a still day. A strong westerly holds the water up and brings high tide a little early; a long dry spell on the moors does the opposite. If you are walking out on the mud, go on a falling tide and come back with an hour to spare.

:::paper{type=cardStock grammage=250 shade=#f2c9b4}

# Join us {style="back-matter" kicker="The group"}

We walk the river path on the first Sunday of every month, meeting at the sailing club at ten. Nobody needs to know anything about birds, boats or tides; most of us didn’t when we started. Bring boots.

The next issue comes out in June. If you have something to say about the estuary, a drawing, a memory or a count of anything at all, leave it in the box behind the bar at the Duke of Cornwall, or write to us at the sailing club.
