EUC Exeter Branch: Winter Birdwatching Cruise

The Exeter Branch are organising a winter birdwatching cruise along the River Exe. Please be on the Quay ready to embark at 1pm, the cruise will leave at 1:30pm.

If you have never done one of these special winter cruises before, they can be highly recommended. An R.S.P.B. ornithologist gives a commentary on all the overwintering birds to be seen on the estuary. The cruise lasts between 2 and 3 hours – only fog causes cancellation.

There is heated indoor accommodation on the boat with hot drinks and snacks available, but if you intend to do your birdwatching on deck, please wrap up warmly and bring binoculars if you have them. There are good train and bus services to Exmouth. If you are driving, Stuart Lines and the seafront are signposted. There is a small car park near the docks, and plenty of parking at the western end of the seafront, a short walk away from Stuart Lines.

The cost is £11.50 per person, and contact eucexeterbranch@gmail.com to book your place.
