What are the best times for bird-watching at Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve?

The best time for bird-watching at Lindisfarne National Nature Reserve is from autumn through winter (October through February) when migratory birds flock to Holy Island. Summer is peak season for tourists, especially in July and August. The island can get crowded, so it's best to make an early start if you plan to drive. The island is only accessible at low tide.
