Khurram Wadee ✅<p>One highlight was after we’d got to the <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/ExeEstuary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExeEstuary</span></a> and a flock of around a hundred duck were passing directly overhead, maybe 10 to 20 m up quacking away and heading east. I let out an audible “Wow!” as I rode by underneath. Another was on the return leg when a rainbow appeared in the north eastern sky.</p>
