On Sunday February 26 I'll be leading a days soundwalk with Wildwise around the Exe Estuary listening to the sounds of thousands of wintering waterbirds. The day starts at high tide at 10am at the quay in Topsham. From there we'll walk along the banks of the estuary to the RSPBs reserve at Bowling Green Marsh where we'll take in the flights of wading birds and wildfowl as they head back out on to the mud flats. After a leisurely lunch we will head over to Trout's Boatyard for 3pm where we will take a boat trip along the river as low tide passes to get up close to the birds feeding on the rich silts of the estuary.
What to wear and bring: Warm clothing plus boots or wellies. Prepare for rain too! Binoculars if you have them, but not vital as we'll be using our ears!
Lunch: To be confirmed, but there are a number of good pubs and cafe's in Topsham.
Cost: £20 per person
Time: 10am to 4:30pm
Location: Start and end in Topsham
