I have just had a weekend away in Somerset at a 60s music revival so today I had a look around at Brean Down & I saw 2 female BLACK REDSTART , 4 ROCK PIPIT , 30+ JACKDAW , 20+ SHELDUCK sat on the sea , a Kestrel & a single FIELDFARE not mind blowing I know but it was good to get in some fresh air after the heavy night before ughhhhhhhhhhh .

Illusive Black Redstart !!
This morning I spent a couple of hours down at Dawlish Warren looking for a BLACK REDSTART that has been seen around the sea wall but all I got today was two flight views of the bird but when I looked at the spot where it had landed there was nothing to be seen , oh so frustrating !
but I did see 6 ROCK PIPIT & a few TURNSTONE .
On the way home I stopped off at Cockwood for a look at the Exe Estuary & saw a few BRENT GOOSE & I picked up a small grebe & thought it was the long staying Slavonion Grebe but in the end it turned out to be just a LITTLE GREBE .
