DAWLISH WARREN . DEVON

On the way home from Brixham this morning I stopped off at Dawlish Warren to do a bit of birding but the day turned out rather slow & the best birds that I saw today were 9 COMMON EIDER , 2 GREAT CRESTED GREBE & a single SLAVONIAN GREBE on the sea .
I then went to the hide to look at the wader flock & saw numerous DUNLIN & OYSTERCATCHER , about 20 GREY PLOVER , 15 BAR-TAILED GODWIT & 4 KNOT .
And on the way back to the car I looked in at the large pond & saw a Male
SHOVELER & a LITTLE GREBE .
