Cold Mornings

I went over to the Exminster Marshes at first light this morning and to start with it was a lovely sunny morning but the clouds soon rolled it and it became quite cold , on the marsh 16 Barnacle Geese were still showing well with also 100+ Dark Bellied Brent Geese and two 1st winter Light Bellied Brent Geese , Eurasian Wigeon and Common Teal were showing everywhere on the marsh , a Peregrine Falcon and a Cetti`s Warbler were also seen .
I walked across the marsh to have a look at the River Exe at the ferry crossing and got good views of the female Long-Tailed Duck that was showing with a female Common Goldeneye , 12 Red-Breasted Merganser and 2 Common Kingfisher .
