Description
The estuary of the River Axe is full of coastal wading birds such as Bar-tailed Godwit, Eurasian Oystercatcher, Little Egret and Common Redshank, a range of ducks including Northern Shoveler, Eurasian Wigeon and Common Teal, and heathland birds like Common Chiffchaff, Eurasian Skylark and Eurasian Kestrel.
A visit close to high tide is best, forcing birds to high tide roosts and fields/saltmarsh. See a link to the tide table below.
