 I am still only venturing out to my local patch due to having the new knee . But it is great to get out anywhere again . 

Here is a list of todays birds that I saw . Eurasian Spoonbill . Little Egret . Grey Heron , Whimbrel , Eurasian Curlew , Common Greenshank and Redshank , Spotted Redshank , Green Sandpiper . My 1st Red Knot of the year ( Sorry about the photo but very bad heat haze ) , Eurasian Oystercatcher , Green Sandpiper , Stock Dove , Common Sand Martin and Sedge Warbler .

So not a bad mornings birding 👀😊

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 .
