24 & 25 November 2011 - Exe estuary

Helen and Brian invited me to join them in Sidmouth for a few days – the weather was excellent.  We went for a walk along the beach at Exmouth – the rock formations east of the beach were amazing:

And the following day we had an RSPB cruise up the Exe estuary.  The boat goes up the estuary just before the rising tide so that you get to see the best selection of birds which includes a great number of avocets.

The boat they used was one of the Dunkirk little ships and this is their flag:
