More from the archives, this time some photos from an afternoon visit to Axmouth in the neighbouring county of Devonshire. They were taken in October 2013 from the picnic area on the bank of the River Axe just as you exit the village of Axmouth and head toward Seaton.
The Axe rises on the outskirts of Beaminster and meanders for 22 miles through the counties of Dorsetshire, Somerset and Devonshire to where it joins the English Channel at Axmouth Harbour. It was low tide when I took photos of some black-tailed godwits which appeared to be feeding as they moved in a group along the mudflats.

I am no expert on bird recognition, so they might well have been bar-tailed godwits!
