The Patch

For listing purposes the patch covers all areas within 1km of the tidal limit of the Teign Estuary. It incorporates the following main birding locations: Decoy Country Park, Jetty Marsh, Aller Brook, Newton Abbot Racecourse, Hackney Marshes, Passage House, Rackerhayes (if/when accessable), Bundle Head, Lower Netherton, part of Teigngrace and of course the estuary itself. Species recorded outside the patch but seen from within it can be counted e.g. distant birds offshore.
