Estuaries Lagoons & Salt Marshes

The birds found on the estuaries, lagoons, and salt marshes of Devon and Cornwall offer a quieter, more intricate side of the region’s wild beauty. Here, waders, terns, gulls, ducks, and geese thrive on the shifting tides and  waterside fringes, revealing behaviours and habitats shaped by the brackish water and sheltered shores. The images celebrate the subtle drama of these ecosystems, where tides, marshes and light weave together with the lives of the birds that depend on them.
