Bowling Green Marsh

 My look today got me a Western Marsh Harrier along with 2 Eurasian Spoonbill , 6 Common Greenshank . Yesterdays summer plumaged Spotted Redshank was still showing well today as was 2 Green Sandpiper and 20+ Common Sand Martin . Then a walk along the road then got me a Common Chiffchaff and a Song Thrush .

Later when I was in the town at Topsham it was good to see a few Common Swift .
