Exe Estuary

We live close to the Exe Estuary – the biggest area of estuarine habitat in Devon. Designated as a Ramsar Site, SSSI etc it is an important over wintering area for waders and wildfowl. Here are a few pictures of over wintering birds on the Exe and the Exe Estuary

Not forgetting the foxes at Bowling Green Marshes and the Grey Seal(s) in the Estuary.

Portsmouth

The town I grew up in. The latest Millenium Lottery Bid inspired project is Spinnaker Tower. An amazing construction marred only by the broken down outdoor lift which if sorted out will be a thrilling ride.
