Descripción
Exminster Marshes is a reserve featuring marshland and wetland habitats with canals and rivers, and arable fields managed for farmland birds. Enjoy a lovely circular walk of 4 km (see the map) here in this fascinating landscape, where flocks of geese, ducks and waders are numerous. Regular visitors include Avefría Europea, Archibebe Común, Silbón Europeo and Warblers. Star species: Barnacla Carinegra,Cetia Ruiseñor, Avefría Europea, Carricerín Común, Silbón Europeo and Escribano Soteño.
Spring: The hedges and ditch edges come alive with the songs of warblers. Breeding Avefría Europea and Archibebe Común can be heard and seen displaying over the fields. Summer: Look carefully for Avefría Europea and Archibebe Común chicks feeding beside the pools. Autumn: Seeds and berries bring the hedgerows alive as flocks of Jilguero Europeo gather to feed on the seed heads and Zorzal Alirrojo and Zorzal Real gorge on the berries. Búho Campestre can be seen hunting over the drier fields. Winter: Hundreds of Barnacla Carinegra grazing on the marsh or estuary. Silbón Europeo can be seen grazing close to Station Road and paths, and teals are in the ditches, with Cuchara Común on the main pool. Less common species frequenting the lagoon include Porrón Moñudo, Ánade rabudo norteño and Ánade friso.

SíInformación extra
As Devon's premier wetland this area is not only an important place for wildlife, but a place filled with human history too. The land was originally part of the estuary until the Exeter Ship Canal was built in the 19th Century, and the remains of the RAF's Second World War signal interception base can still be seen today.
