The basin is almost square, a mile and half north to south, 2 miles west to east at its very widest. The whole basin is tidal and empties itself at low water to leave broad mudflats which are an important breeding ground for seabirds and waders. Indeed, the nature reserve in this bay is considered internationally important for various species of waders. The swans give the Basin its old, more poetic name, the "Sea of Swans". | The basin is almost square, a mile and half north to south, 2 miles west to east at its very widest.
