This morning I went down to Bowling Green Marsh In Topsham for a look & was in luck as a SPOTTED CRAKE had just been found ! the 3rd in Devon this year , it was over the far side of the marsh in front of the reeds & I managed to get only this shot of it .
Yes I know its not very good but the light in the morning & distance from from the bird is very bad on the marsh .
Also seen were 5 LITTLE EGRET , 3 COMMON SNIPE , 11 GREENSHANK ,
2 WHIMBREL , & single PEREGRINE FALCON , SPOTTED REDSHANK ,
RINGED PLOVER & EGYPTION GOOSE .
