I then went down the the viewing area where I saw a Cetti`s Warbler , 2 Willow Warbler , a Common Chiffchaff and a small flock of European Goldfinch .
I have not been out birding for a while so it was good to get out today and take a look at Bowling Green Marsh . There was not a lot to see as the edges of the lake are very overgrown , but I did manage to see a couple of Gadwall , Greater & Lesser Black-Backed Gull,s , a Stock Dove and the following waders .
Numerous Black-Tailed Godwit and Common Redshank , a Spotted Redshank , 16 Dunlin , a Ruff and a single Red Knot .
