This morning I went for a look at Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham but I didn`t see a lot there ! only numerous WIGEON , TEAL & BLACK TAILED GODWIT & on the far side of the marsh partially hidden in the reeds were 2 COMMON SNIPE .
I then had a look at the Exe Estuary off of the Duck Walk at Topsham & saw 20+ AVOCET .
The next stop of the day was at the Recreation Ground in Topsham where a look at the River Exe got me a WATER PIPIT & a Male & 2 Female RED BREASTED MERGANSER .
I then went to the other side of the Exe Estuary to the top fields in Exminster to look for any sign of Woodlark but I couldn`t find any at all ! but in one of the gardens I did see this GREEN WOODPECKER feeding on one of the lawns .
