Out and About

 The day started at Bowling Green Marsh with 4 Eurasian Spoonbill , 6 Western Cattle Egret , around a dozen Common Greenshank and a Stock Dove .

I then went and had a look at Powderham Marsh and I saw Little Grebe , a female Western Marsh Harrier and my first Wood Sandpiper of the year .

My last stop was at the Exminster Marshes and got a YellowWagtail , a White Wagtail , 6 Pied Wagtail and a fall of Clouded Yellow Butterflies with 7 seen .

Osprey

 Just a few shots of todays Osprey that caught a fish in the Exe Estuary this morning and then took it to a dead tree in Powderham Park to eat it . 

Also in the area were about 20+ Barn Swallow .

Red-Necked Phalarope

 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 .
