This evening I went to the Riverside Country Park at Countess Wear in Exeter to look for a reported NIGHT HERON but this time I was out of luck & didn`t see it .
But I did see a LITTLE EGRET , a GREEN SANDPIPER , a SPARROWHAWK that flew through & flushed a COMMON SNIPE & about a dozen SAND MARTIN .
I then went to Exminster Marsh where I saw my first SHORT EARED OWL of the year .
