Today Andy Bond & myself went up to Roadford Reservoir in West Devon for another go at trying to see the Male AMERICAN WIGEON & this time we were in luck as Andy picked the bird out asleep in with some EURASION WIGEON & after a while the bird woke up & gave us good but distant views hence the photo`s .
We then went to a small car park where we saw 2 WILLOW TIT a few LONG TAILED TIT & a NUTHATCH .
After that we headed off for North Devon with the first stop at the old power station at Yelland where we saw 2 GOLDENEYE & the Female RING-NECKED DUCK that has been there since before christmas , we then did the short walk up to Isley Marsh where there were 3 sleeping SPOONBILL stood on the edge of the river .
We then headed off to Barnstaple to look for the reported Adult LAUGHING GULL that has been seen on the river Taw & after looking for a while Andy picked it out stood on the edge of the river & it then flew giving good views & making it my 6th different one in Devon .
