Osprey Day !!

A quick look from the hide at Bowling Green Marsh got me 3 Bar-Tailed Godwit , 3 Whimbrel and a Spotted Redshank , I then went down to the fields near the viewing platform and saw 2 Eurasian Nuthatch , a European Green Woodpecker , a Great Spotted Woodpecker , 5 Long-Tailed Tit , a Grey Wagtail , a fly over calling Yellow Wagtail and a single juvenile Willow Warbler .
A look from the viewing platform at the Clyst/Exe Estuaries turned out to just amazing birding with 6 Osprey seen !! we had 2 catch fish and fly off with them towards the Exminster Marshes and another 4 were still fishing over the Exe together , it is the most that I have ever seen together over the estuaries , it was just a pity that they were all to far down to get shots of them , also seen were 2 Curlew Sandpiper , a Common Sandpiper and 2 Common Kingfisher .
