Today I decided to go for a look down at my local patch Bowling Green Marsh to see if the WOOD SANDPIPER was on view again .
I soon got on to the bird but it was on the far side of the marsh , & as anyone knows who has birded here the birds are very distant , I managed to get these shots of the bird , but would have liked better .
I also had views of 20+ GREENSHANK a SPOTTED REDSHANK , LITTLE GREBE & 15 LITTLE EGRET.
Then a juvenile BLACK TERN came into the marsh from the River Clyst it dropped in & had a quick wash & then flew off again , in all it was only on the Marsh for about a minute , but still good to see it .
