Flight Of The Curlew - 20/10/2012

After blasting around Castle Comb Racetrack, Jess and I went back to Exeter for the weekend. Down at the hide on Bowling Green Marsh, the wildfowl had begun their winter congregations, with plenty of Wigeon, Pochard, Canada's, and Lapwing in front of the hide.

At the Estuary vantage point there were lots of waders out on the flats, and a Curlew flew up from the adjacent field, calling as it went -

A Little Egret also made it's way along the front of the viewing platform, feeding in the shallows.
