Spring Migrants

An early morning look at Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham didn`t turn up much at all as there was no sign of any gulls at all , but I did see 5 male and 2 female Tufted Duck , a single Little Grebe , the Eurasian Oystercatcher count had now risen to 5 and there was also 30+ Bar-Tailed Godwit and a Green Sandpiper . I then had a look in Goosemoor where I saw my first 2 Willow Warblers of the year and the small copse at the top of Bowling Green Lane produced 3 male Blackcap again my first for the year .
I then went for a look at the Exminster Marshes but there was not a lot to be seen with only 200+ Eurasian Curlew , 50+ Dunlin , another Willow Warbler and 7 Common Linnet .

Also seen were 3 Slow Worm and 2 Grass Snake .
