South Devon Birds, November 2011

This album contains pictures from a trip with David Rosair to South Devon. We visited a number of locations around the Exe estuary, including:

RSPB Shaldon (Labrador Bay)
Berry Head
Dawlish Warren
Powderham
The Exe itself, by boat from Topsham (thanks to Justina)
Bowling Green Marsh

The weather was mixed, but we did manage to see a lot of birds, including the avocets on the Exe and cirl buntings, fleetingly at Shaldon and more definitely at Berry Head.
