Paid a visit this week to Topsham and more specifically the RSPB reserve at Bowling Green Marsh. For some effortless bird watching this is the ideal place, with easy access and numerous species right under your nose! Even if you just stop by for 10 mins you are bound to see loads of interest. Wonderful bird hide(s) with helpful identification posters and if the facilities are open you can even get a a cup of tea. There is something immensely peaceful about watching and listening to birds, it is very easy to get completely absorbed so that everything else on your mind fades into the background and time is suspended.
Walking back into Topsham along the Goat Walk at low tide also provided the lovely sight of many Godwits industriously feeding in the mud.
