Why oh why do we all get the year listing bug ?????????? but we do ! , so today found me out in the rain on Exminster Marsh looking for some WHITE FRONTED GEESE that have been seen there .
I spent a couple of hours looking for them but had no luck , but did see a female RUDDY DUCK a bird that is not that common in this part of the world , it was with some POCHARD & a few TUFTED DUCK .
I then went back to Topsham & looked at Bowling Green Marsh & would you believe it the WHITE FRONTED GEESE were there & I ended up seeing 7 of them .
So despite getting cold & wet the day ended quite well .
