Bowling Green Marsh

My first bird on my walk around Bowling Green Marsh was a calling Firecrest that was right outside the hide .

I then looked around the viewing platform area  and saw the following . 4 Little Egret , Eurasian Jay , European Green Woodpecker , Great Spotted Woodpecker , European Goldfinch , Reed Bunting , Meadow Pipit , Common Blackbird , Common Chaffinch and European Robin .

I then had a look at the Clyst Estuary from the viewing platform and saw a single Great Crested Grebe .

I also saw the following . a female Great Spotted Woodpecker , Common Gull , Common Raven , male and female Pied Wagtail , Coal Tit and a few Long-Tailed Tit .
