  1. I want to share a red letter day in my birding journey; today was the day when I heard Turnstone turning stones. Not only did I see it, I could hear it. Little clicks of delight 😂. Also a Common Scoter on the river too.

  2. This is the spillway from the #RiverExe into the #channel. The #engineers who designed and built it had foresight to see the future effects of #GlobalWarming, #Urbanization, changes in #CatchmentAreas and so on. It is by no means an easy task but I hazard a guess that they may have to revisit this and other flood-relief measures along the #River.

  3. Lastly, this is the #bridge over the #RiverExe, which is a sign that my home is a mere 5 km away. A sight that is always welcome. The bridge is old but it a #cyclepath was constructed as an extension to it on the far side, which blends in very nicely with the existing #masonry.

  4. Only a few minutes away in the car, I couldn't resist nipping down to the River Exe to see this beauty. An hour of watching it preen was good but then it flew out over the river and caught a fish, flying back over our heads to its perch. A couple of Crow tried to steal its catch but no chance!!

  5. Angry at the state of our waterways, and sewage dumping in our seas?

    Rob Hopkins shares how 3 Transition groups along the Exe teamed up to turn outrage into local, practical action to restore, protect and celebrate their precious river.

    Sustainable Tiverton, Transition Exeter and Transition Exmouth worked together to create Friends of the River Exe (FORE), a vibrant campaign to bring everyone connected to the river together, through festival events, citizen science, conservation and more.

    They were supported by a partnership grant from Transition Together seedfunding, made possible by The National Lottery Community Fund and National Lottery Players.

    What could you unlock when you join together with others in your area and with a little extra resource?

  7. Night swimming, river stories, a 50-mile source-to-sea Salmon Run & more make up this week's Festival of the River Exe.

    Never been a better time to come together to celebrate & protect the life of the river which flows through the heart of the community.

    Friends of the River Exe is a collaboration of Transition groups in Exeter, Tiverton and Exmouth, towns which the river flows through...

  8. A morning on the east side of the River Exe, starting in the Maer Valley just outside #Exmouth where there is a small colony of Ring-necked Duck. Then onto Bowling Green Marsh for the high tide. The latter was quiet - both in terms of waders (hardly any) and peace and quiet (lots).

  9. Part of the journey is past the #RiverExe and you can see part of a flood relief channel with a weir where sea #birds are often found resting. Today there were #gulls but other times you may see #cormorants or #shags there. Further on, the #cyclepath goes by the #ExeterCanal and it has been nice to see people still #exercising i.e. #running, #cycling or #walking by the water.
