A lovely male Black Redstart was seen by some lucky people on the marina buildings before we had even boarded this morning’s cruise. Alas, it didn’t show afterwards, but lots of other birds did. After glimpses of Red-breasted Mergansers and the expected Brent Geese, Curlews and Oystercatchers, we turned the boat to look at a…

Again our visitors on today’s cruise were treated to exceptionally calm sunny and clear conditions with mirror-like waters particularly in the upper part of the estuary. Plenty of action in the lower stretch with Shag and Cormorant fishing in packs around the Buoys near the marina and off Starcross giving visitors the chance to appreciate the…

Visitors on today’s cruise were treated to exceptionally calm sunny and clear conditions with mirror-like waters particularly in the upper part of the estuary giving us stunning reflections of the numerous birds and the surrounding landscape.

Again, we saw an immature Great Northern Diver off the Marines camp, but for me the highlight was an exceptional sight that I never even dreamed of seeing on the estuary. As…

It was fairly calm today with some lovely sunshine to take the edge off the chilly northerly breeze and show up the birds to their best. After seeing what was probably a Great Northern Diver inside the estuary near Exmouth, for the second day we had great views of an immature Great Northern Diver, this…

It was a great privilege for us here at Stuart Line to host Devon Wildlife Trust on board for their 60th anniversary and what better way to do so then with a private Guided Bird Watching Cruise along the River Exe. We were excited to have Dave Smallshire on board again for this season. Today…
