Dipping

I had a call this morning telling me that there was a Red Kite over the viewing platform on Bowling Green Marsh and although I got there as fast as I could I still missed it . But I did see 15 Common Buzzard , a Eurasian Sparrowhawk , 2 Stock Dove and a Cetti`s Warbler .
A look from the viewing platform at the Clyst/Exe Estuaries then got me 12 Red-Breasted Merganser , 100+ European Golden Plover , 11 Red Knot , 6 Bar-Tailed Godwit , a Pied Avocet , a Common Kingfisher and I also saw the following Butterflies , Small Tortoiseshell , Peacock and 3 Brimstone .
