Autumn Movement

This morning I decided to go to the top fields at Gore Lane in Exmouth to have a look for any migrants and on the way there I had a Weasel dash across the road in front of me at Maer Lane , I arrived at the top fields and local birder Matt Knott was already there and he put me onto a Tree Pipit , I then walked down to the lower fields and saw a Spotted Flycatcher , 4 Willow Warbler , 1 Common Chiffchaff , numerous Barn Swallow and a Common Sand Martin .
I then went down and had a look at the beach but there was nothing there so I then went to the docks were there was a lot of Gull`s and Tern feeding on the Whitebait and I saw around a dozen Sandwich Tern , 5 Common Tern and a Little Tern .

A look at Bowling Green Marsh got me a Juvenile Spotted Redshank and a Ruff but no sign of the Temminck`s Stint or the Spotted Crake today , from the viewing platform that looks out at the Clyst  Estuary I saw 5 Red Knot , a Common Kingfisher and a Common Seal and further down the Exe Estuary a Osprey showed but it was very distant .
I had heard that there was over a hundred Yellow Wagtail on the Exminster Marshes this morning so later in the day I went over to look for them and guess what !!! I couldn`t see any lol but I did see a Eurasian Hobby .
