 A quick half hour at Bowling Green Marsh got me a few Northern Pintail , a male Tufted Duck , 2 European Spoonbill , 2 Little Egret , a Great White Egret , a Grey Heron , 4 Black-Billed Magpie and a few Common Blackbird .

Barnacle Goose

 News of 30+ Barnacle Geese on the Exminster Marshes saw me going over to see if I could catch up with them ,  and I ended up with nice views of them . Not a lot else to report with only a Western Marsh Harrier , a Common Chiffchaff and a European Greenfinch .

 

 

Slowly getting there !

 I tried my knee out again today with a short walk around Bowling Green Marsh and Goosemoor .

On the marsh the 2 Spoonbill and the Great White Egret were still showing well along with . 300+ Black-Tailed Godwit , a single Bar-Tailed Godwit , 10 Pied Avocet , 12 Dunlin , 2 Lesser Black-Backed Gull and a Common Chiffchaff .

On to Goosemoor where there was this female Common Kestrel , 8 Stock Dove and a Cetti`s Warbler...my 1st in Devon this year .
