Exe Estuary

Spent a super nice few days in Topsham, Devon, in mid-September. Not a birding holiday, but you can't fail to see birds there, being right on the Exe estuary and just a short walk from Bowling Green Marsh.

Nothing mad seen, just really nice birding with a cream crown Marsh Harrier, a couple of flyover Tree Pipit, a Hobby, Yellow Wag, stacks of Black-Tailed Godwit, a few Barwits, 3 Knot, 4 Ruff, good numbers of Pintail & Wigeon, Water Rail, a Med Gull, several Greenshank, 2 Garden Warbler, juv Peregrine chasing waders, a Common Sand, couple of Stonechat, plenty of Swallows through and lots of Chiffs. Very enjoyable!
