Exe Estuary & Bowling Green Marsh

Enjoyed a nice little family break on the Exe Estuary 9th - 13th November.

Staying, as we usually do in Topsham, I was able to enjoy whatever birding interest Bowling Green Marsh and the Exe had to offer. Best included the long-staying Long-Billed Dowitcher, providing really good views at high tide, together with a couple of Spotted Redshank, a Ruff, several Greenshank, c200 Avocet and a large flock of Golden Plover, alongside larger numbers of Black-Tailed Godwit, Redshank, Pintail and Wigeon in particular. A couple of Egyptian Geese and a 1w Goosander were new ones for me here.
