Very slow birding

I had another look around the Exminster Marshes again today and I saw 10-20 Mallard , 2 distant male Garganey , 16 Whimbrel , 12 Black-Tailed Godwit , 3 Ruff , 6 Barn Swallow 4 Common Swift , 5 Sedge Warbler , 2 European Reed Warbler , a Common Whitethroat and an elusive Lesser Whitethroat . Also seen was a Slow Worm & a young Grass Snake , but the best thing seen today was a Water Shrew....only my 3rd ever on the marsh .
