Bowling Green Marsh

 A look at Bowling Green Marsh this morning at low tide got me 2 Whimbrel , a Common Greenshank , 2 Blackcap , 2 Common Chiffchaff and a Willow Warbler . And a look from the viewing platform got me a very distant Osprey way down towards Starcross .

I had another look this morning at high tide and this time I saw 6 Curlew Sandpiper , 3 Red Knot and the evening was finished off with a nice Garganey .

More Yellow Wagtail

 Another trip this morning down to Gore Lane in Exmouth to look at the Yellow Wagtail that are up in the top fields in with the cows  . And again I managed to see 20-30 of them along with 7 Northern Wheatear and 3 Common Raven . It was also good to catch up with fellow Devon birders who were there also looking for them .
