YEAR TICKING AGAIN !!!!!

Today I went to Broadsands in South Devon to see what year ticks I could get ! & in trees by the small brook I saw Numerous GOLDCREST , 9 CHIFFCHAFF , a CETTI`S WARBLER & a wintering YELLOW-BROWED WARBLER .
Also seen were 5 CIRL BUNTING , a SPARROWHAWK & a GREEN WOODPECKER was heard on call .
A look at the sea then got me 2 BLACK-NECKED GREBE , 2 GADWALL , an EIDER & a few RAZORBILL & distant views of the Brixham LAUGHING GULL .
I then went to Dawlish Warren to see if I could see the reported Glaucous Gull but it had flown off before I got there , but I did see 2 RED-THROATED DIVER , 6 TURNSTONE & a KNOT .
