Garganey again

Down for a look at the Bowling Green Marsh again today and the birding wasn`t to bad at all with the juvenile/female Garganey showing again if not another one ! also seen were 4 Northern Pintail , the Spotted Redshank had now gone up by another to 3 , 2 Curlew Sandpiper , a Common Sandpiper , another Wood Sandpiper , 2 Pied Avocet , 3 Bar-Tailed Godwit , 3 Whimbrel and an adult Mediterranean Gull .
A look from the Viewing platform at the Clyst Estuary produced a Water Rail , a Grey Wagtail and a Common Kingfisher , I then decided to go to Exton Station and on the way there I checked the cattle in the Darts Farm field for Yellow Wagtails but there was none to be seen but 2 Common Raven showed very well , once at the station I started looking at the Exe Estuary for any Osprey and I managed to see 4 juveniles today plus a male Peregrine Falcon and 2 Sandwich Tern , also seen was a Clouded Yellow Butterfly and a Hummingbird Hawkmoth .
