A NEW BIRD ON MY DAWLISH WARREN LIST !!

Today I went down to Dawlish Warren again for a look & on the walk out to the bight I saw the following birds , 20+ BLACKBIRD , 40+ REDWING , 6 WREN
8 GOLDCREST , 4 STONECHAT , 2 BULLFINCH , 3 COAL TIT & a REED BUNTING .
There was also a large Female PEREGRINE FALCON that flew over Greenland Lake .
Out in the bight there were 300+ WIGEON , 6 LITTLE EGRET , 2 KNOT
& 5 BAR TAILED GODWIT .
I then was walking back to the car when a RING OUZEL flew along the ridge of the golf course & out towards Warren Point , I was over the moon with this as its the first one that I have seen at the Warren in over 20 years of birding down there .
I then finished the day off with a GREAT SPOTTED WOODPECKER in Dead Dolphin Wood .
I arrived back at my house in Topsham & saw 20+ REDWING & 2 MISTLE THRUSH in the cemetery .
