Friday 4th April
This afternoon , my garden was visited by an Eurasian Jay and this was a new bird for my garden list 😊
Saturday 5th April
I was in my garden when I picked up a Red Kite that was heading north towards the M5 . News then came out of a Common Grasshopper Warbler reeling at Bowling Green Marsh but by the time that I got there the bird had moved on . But I did see 4 European Spoonbill , a Cetti`s Warbler and a Common Chiffchaf
A look at the marsh this morning got me 4 European Spoonbill , 4 Grey Heron , 2 Little Egret , the long staying Long-Billed Dowitcher , a single Red Knot , 100+ Common Redshank , 2 Spotted Redshank and around a dozen Dunlin .
And back at home I had a Common Buzzard and a Great Spotted Woodpecker .
Another trip out to Bellever Tor on Dartmoor got me the following birds . Common Skylark , a brief view of the Great Grey Shrike , Common Skylark , male and female Common Crossbill , Common Buzzard , Common Stonechat and Meadow Pipit .
Then on the way home we had a quick stop at the Exminster Marshes where we saw male and female Egyptian Goose .
