Join us for a ride through two beautiful nature reserves, Seaton Marshes and Colyford Common, next to the glorious River Axe estuary, which plays host to an ever-changing selection of birds through the seasons.

Trips give you exclusive access to remote parts of the valley, where you are likely to see between 30 and 50 different species of bird during your 2-hour trip.

Birdwatching takes place with specialist guides and commentary from either Ian Waite or Donald Campbell on special trams trips in January, February, March, April, May, August, September, October and November.

Ian Waite, shares his enthusiasm as walker leader with members of the Devon Wildlife Trust and Axe Vale & District Conservation Society of which he is a long standing committee member.

Donald Campbell, is President of the Axe Vale & District Conservation Society and author of The Encyclopaedia of British Birds. Donald also monitors wetland bird stocks in the area on behalf of the British Trust for Ornithology.

Space is strictly limited to 20 persons per trip and therefore early booking is essential. The trips last two hours and will not run unless a minimum of 12 people have pre-booked places at least 4 days in advance. If you are booked on to a trip that has to be cancelled, we shall contact you to offer a place on an alternative date.
