This morning was a bright & sunny day so I went for a look at the new pool at Matford on the outskirts of Exeter as there was an LRP reported there yesterday but there was no sign of it today , but I did see 20+ SAND MARTIN , a SWALLOW & my first HOUSE MARTIN of the year , & there were a couple of CHIFFCHAFF singing .
I then met up with a mate & we went down to Budleigh Salterton for a look & on the way there we saw 2 RED LEGGED PARTRIDGE & a GREEN WOODPECKER in the Bicton Arena .
At the Budleigh / River Otter area all we saw were 5 ROCK PIPIT , 3 Female & 1 Male WHEATEAR & a WILLOW WARBLER .
