I phoned Andy Bond from the hide at Budliegh to tell him about the Med Gulls & he said that he was off up to Halberton to look for the female Red-Crested Pochard that had been seen there .
So I asked him to wait for me & I would go with him , we got to the Grand Western Canal & met up with Mark Bailey & after a walk of about a mile found the bird with some Mallards .
We also saw about 100 FIELDFARE & 20+ REDWING .
