Dragonflies

A morning/afternoon look at Bowling Green Marsh got me the smart looking adult Mediterranean Gull and a Sandwich Tern and also singles of Bar-Tailed Godwit , Grey Plover and Eurasian Oystercatcher .
Other things of note were Southern Hawker , a female Broad-Bodied Chaser and a Red Fox .
This evening there was a bit of fun as someone had claimed a possible Hudsonian Whimbrel on the Clyst Estuary so I went down to have a look and found a Whimbrel ok but for over an hour of looking at it I couldn`t get any features on it to turn it into a Hudsonian but then it started to wash and preen itself and you could then tell then right away that it was just one of our normal Whimbrel !!! ...still you have to look as you never know !!!

Better luck next time lol
