Twilight on the Exe Estuary – now fully booked



As part of the continuing series of Flittermice and Hoots walks, on Sunday, February 5 (4:00pm to 7:00pm) I'm leading a high tide sound walk from the Quay in Topsham, Devon to listen to the river's birds.

Throughout the winter thousands of waterbirds flock to the Exe estuary. Every day, at high tide they leave the estuary and roost communally at a small number of locations around the Exe -one of these is at the RSPB's nature reserve at Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham.

The walk is on level ground and mostly on good footpaths. But please bring boots or wellies as one short section can be a muddy. Also - WRAP UP WARM! The estuary is one of the coldest places I know in Devon in Winter! Bring torches as some of the walk will be in the dark.

If you're interested in making sound recordings, bring along a digital or other recording device as there will be many opportunities for capturing the evening's soundscape.
