A few years ago, you would have been lucky to spot avocets anywhere, but today - a conservation success story.
The Exe Estuary in winter is one of the best places in the UK to get great views of avocets. With their black-and-white plumage, and slender, curved bills, you can’t miss them especially a flock of up to 500 when they’re sweeping the mud to search for tasty morsels. Every winter, over 40,000 birds, including hundreds of black-tailed godwits, Brent geese and red-breasted mergansers, flock to the Exe Estuary from as far a field as Siberia and Greenland.

Some of you already know, some of you don’t. Some of you are maybe anxious to bring your little ones to the cold and to the snow. Some...
