A look down on my local patch at Bowling Green Marsh proved to be a wise decision as I found a GREAT WHITE EGRET flying over the Marsh .
It came from over the railway line & over the left hand side of the Marsh before flying out over the River Clyst , I then went down to the viewing platform that looks out over the Clyst but the tide was right in so there was no sign of the bird again , but as the tide was in in may have flown over to Powderham Park !
who knows ?
The SPOTTED CRAKE is still showing quite well at times & there was also 6 WHIMBREL , 6 LITTLE GREBE & a KNOT .
Also seen on the Marsh today was a GREY WAGTAIL a bird that we dont see very often on here .
