Axe Estuary - Wed 28 Sep

A really lovely day and as I had the afternoon off work I picked up Ellie from home and we drove down to the Axe Estuary. Upon arriving it took us less than five minutes to find what we were after, a Semi-palmated Sandpiper. We viewed the estuary from Coronation Corner in Axmouth and the Semi-palmated Sandpiper was feeding with a handful of Dunlin and a couple of Ringed Plover. Whilst we were treated to excellent views through the 'scope the bird was a little distant for a photograph, but if you use your imagination...

There was nothing else much of note on the estuary so we drove down in to Seaton and sat on the seafront and enjoyed an ice cream, before setting off for home after another enjoyable afternoon out.
