Not a lot to report today as I went into Exeter early . But later on in the morning news came out of a female type Garganey showing on Bowling Green Marsh my local patch . And as I am only 5 minutes away from there I went down and managed to get this shot of it .
The only other thing of note on the marsh today was a Spotted Redshank .
A dash down to Bowling Green Marsh this afternoon as a Pectoral Sandpiper had been found . I got there and soon got onto the American wader . The bird took to flight a few times above the marsh but each time it came back to around the same spot to the joy of other birders that had come a lot further then I had to see it .
Now Pec Sand is a common visitor in Britain but I am always very pleased to catch up with one of them . So many thanks to Tom Bragg the finder .
