Good Birding

 A trip down to Sth Huish in South Devon for a juvenile Sabine`s Gull turned out to be a good move as the bird showed very well from the beach . Other good birds were 3 Grey Phalarope a superb little bird , Black-Legged Kittiwake and a Mediterranean Gull .

A look at the marsh then got us an adult Yellow-Legged Gull .

We then went to Slapton Ley where we saw a delightful Snow Bunting and a Northern Wheatear .
