    Horsey Island is a dynamic nature reserve owned by the Devon Wildlife Trust. This saltmarsh and mudflats provide ideal conditions for thousands of water birds as well as rare plants. Natural coastal processes means the area is flooded by the estuary and changing tides. The best time to spot wildlife
