A trip down to Otterton this morning to grab a look at the White Stork that has been hanging around the area . I think it is one of the birds that were released in Cornwall....But still good to see .
I then had a look at Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham and I saw 4 Eurasian Spoonbill , 2 Cattle Egret , 8 Grey Heron , Green Sandpiper , Common Sandpiper and 3 Stock Dove .
News came out of a juvenile Black Tern seen on the Exe Estuary . So I went down to the Topsham Recreation Ground for a look but all I saw were 3 Juvenile Mediterranean Gull and a Common Sandpiper .
So I then went to the Goat walk in Topsham but no luck with the tern again but I got a Little Gull and 6 Ruddy Turnstone . Then a look at Bowling Green Marsh got me 2 Eurasian Spoonbill and a Western Cattle Egret .
And back at home this Holly Blue Butterfly was in the garden for a while .
A look at Bowling Green Marsh got me 2 Eurasian Spoonbill , 6 Grey Heron , 80+ Little Egret , at least 10 Western Cattle Egret , numerous Black-Tailed Godwit , 20+ Common Greenshank , 6 Dunlin , 7 Barn Swallow , 3 Common House Martin and 3 Pied Wagtail .
The marsh is the more dried out than I have ever seen it before !
