The Bowling Green Marsh area

I had a look at my local site Bowling Green Marsh this morning where all the normal wildfowl were on show including 4 male and 2 female Northern Pintail , there was also a good variety of waders with numerous Black-Tailed Godwit , 100-150 Bar-Tailed Godwit , 200+ Pied Avocet , 50+ Common Redshank , a single Spotted Redshank and a few Dunlin also seen was a European Green Woodpecker , a Stock Dove , a Common Raven and an elusive Water Rail .
I then went down to the other end of the marsh and saw another Spotted Redshank on the Clyst Estuary but it could have been the earlier bird from the marsh as birds had now started to leave the marsh for the estuary ! I then had a look at the trees in Riversmeet House and found a pair of Eurasian Treecreeper , 2 Eurasian Nuthatch and a Common Chiffchaff .
