Beschrijving

Bowling Green on the confluence of the River Exe and the River Clyst is an ideal spot to watch birds up close, including spring and autumn migrating birds, and winter flocks of waders, ducks and geese feeding and resting. Two parts to the SSSI reserve - a large bird hide and a viewing platform at the point the river Clyst joins the river Exe.

Some of the birds you can see here are Grutto, Rosse Grutto, Rotgans, Grote Canadese Gans, Grauwe Gans, Pijlstaart, Smient, Blauwe Reiger, Wilde Eend, Slobeend, Kuifeend, Kluut, Aalscholver, Tureluur, Groenpootruiter and Wulp.
