Well today got me only my second Ortolan Bunting in Devon , with one seen near the Budleigh Salterton golf course . My first one seen in Devon was at Bantham in South Devon on the 24th August 1996 .
I have only seen 8 in Britain with the 1st on 16 / 10 / 88 and the last one 5 / 9 / 2002 so its been a long wait of 21 years until todays bird .
Also seen today at Bowling Green Marsh were 2 Ruff , a Green Sandpiper , a few Red Knot , 20+ Dunlin and a nice Curlew Sandpiper .
