Dig out your wellies for a fact-finding mud walk along the Exe Estuary led by East Devon District Council’s Countryside Rangers on Saturday June 20.
You’ll discover all about the creatures that make their homes in and on the mud and, what’s more, the event is free and open to all.
Education Ranger Penny Evans said: “We will be searching for shells, digging for worms and fishing in the creek to see what we can find there – it’s great fun for all ages.
She added: “Wear wellies or old shoes that you don’t mind getting wet, and suitable outdoor clothing.”
East Devon District Council's Countryside team would like to thank County Bird Recorder Steve Waite for leading an extremely interesting and informative Dawn Chorus Walk at Seaton Wetlands on Saturday 18 April.
A cold easterly wind failed to deter 24 keen individuals from enjoying this special walk, which began at 5.30am at Black Hole Marsh. The event got off to a flying start, as within ten minutes the group had a close view of a barn owl, while from the car park, wood pigeon, collared dove, blackbird, robin, blackcap and chiffchaff could all be heard.

This is a one-on-one walking performance taking place at midnight.
Audience are advised to wear warm and waterproof clothing in case of bad weather.
A longhouse is a medieval farmhouse in which both people and cattle were accommodated under a single roof.
Higher Uppacott is a grade one listed building of rare and national importance. It is one of the few remaining examples of this historic building type, which has retained its lower or shippon end (cattle shelter) in its original unaltered state. One of the things that makes Higher Uppacott so special is that its development from medieval beginnings through to the present day is still clearly evident within the fabric of the building. The longhouse is not open to the public all...
