RSPB Exe Estuary

This reserve has two separate areas of coastal grazing marsh on opposite sides of the estuary - Exminster Marshes and Bowling Green Marsh. In spring, look for breeding lapwings and redshanks. In winter, during floods and at high tide, you can see thousands of ducks and geese and wading birds roosting and feeding, such as curlews, lapwings, black-tailed godwits and wigeons. Hundreds of avocets can also be seen on the estuary in winter.
