An afternoon visit to Black Hole Marsh in Seaton to look for a Red-Necked Phalarope that was found this morning . And as you can see the bird showed very well . This is the eighth time that I have been lucky enough to see one of these in Britain .

White Stork
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 .

Exe Estuary
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 .
