How do you get to the Ythan Estuary? I'm going there after Strathbeg and don't know directions...
There are various places to look from mostly around Newburgh. The beach car park has good access to the mouth (lots of birds there) and Inches Road is a good viewpoint too. Around the bridge is easy to view and there are some lay-bys further along the road. Waulkmill hide is near the head of the estuary and is reached from Collieston crossroads. Try to avoid high tide as most birds will be harder to see then.
