Stormy Weather

Today has been a day of high winds and rain . So I only managed to get in a small bit of birding today at Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham , where I saw numerous Eurasian Wigeon , Northern Shoveler and Common Teal , 20+ Mallard , 4 male and a female Tufted Duck , a Little Grebe and a Great Black-Backed Gull , also seen around the feeders were 7 European Greenfinch a bird that is not as numerous as it used to be . Then a look at the River Exe at the recreation Ground in Topsham got me the adult male and female Common Goldeneye .
