Exe Estuary RSPB full winter avocet cruise

Event Date: 
24/02/2013 - 12:00pm
Venue: 
Exe Estuary

The Exe Estuary in winter is one of the best places in the UK to get great views of avocets. With their black-and-white plumage, and slender, curved bills, you can’t miss them especially a flock of up to 500 when they’re sweeping the mud to search for tasty morsels.

With expert commentary on each cruise, you'll learn something new and exciting about the Exe Estuary and its residents....
