Black- Necked Grebe is a very rare bird to see on the Exe Estuary , so I was very glad to see two of them today off of Exmouth . The birds were well out in the middle of the estuary so no chance of getting any shots of them .
Also seen were a few Brent Geese , a male Peregrine Falcon , 4 Common Raven and a nice male Black Redstart .
Out to see another Snow Bunting today and this time the bird was showing at Ideford Common near Exeter .
This is my sixth one this year with 4 that I found at Pendeen Point in Cornwall and another that I saw at Dawlish Warren in Devon .
A look around Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham this morning on a nice sunny day got me . 12 Greylag Geese , 20+ Northern Pintail , a male and female Common Pochard , a male Gadwall , a male and 2 female Tufted Duck , a Common Buzzard , 3 male Eurasian Bullfinch and a Mistle Thrush .
A quick look at Goosemoor then got me 3 Common Greenshank , a Common Raven and a Water Rail was heard on call .
