A quick look around Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham got me European Reed Warbler that has returned to the small patch of reed by the viewing platform .
Also seen today were Common Greenshank , Whimbrel , Cetti`s Warbler , Blackcap , Common Chiffchaff and seen in the Clyst Estuary from the viewing platform was a Common Seal .
A dash down to Mudbank Lane in Exmouth to look for reported Little Tern . And I was lucky to connect with 3 of them along with 30+ Sandwich Tern . Also seen were numerous Pale Bellied Brent Geese , 8 Whimbrel and a Common Gull .
A great days birding out at Yarner Wood on the edge of Dartmoor . And the first place I look was out on the heath were I saw a performing Tree Pipit , a Willow Warbler and a Common Cuckoo .
I then had a look around the wood and got 2 Lesser Spotted Woodpecker ( Excuse the picture but they were very illusive ) , Pied Flycatcher , Common Redstart and Garden Warbler .
All new for the year so I was well pleased 😀
