Adur Valley Estuary, West Sussex, England (5659 words) |
 | The River Adur Estuary is wide expanse of mud-flats at low water, with the river flow cutting a narrow path, and a tidal inlet at high tide. |
| The River Adur estuary between the Norfolk bridge and the A27 Flyover sported a particular large number of sea birds as the low spring tide receded exposing the mud flats north of the Railway Viaduct and the mussel beds and gravel to the south. |
| In the river north of the Toll Bridge, the surface was rippled by shoals of young Sand Smelt, which scattered in many directions and there was a pronounced arrow-like disruption of the water surface, which probably indicated predation by a large fish, most likely to be from shoals of second year Bass. |
