This morning I went down to Newton Abbot with Andy Bond as there was news of the 1st winter LAUGHING GULL on the roofs of houses in wharf road & we managed to get good views of this American bird .
We then went to Preston sea front in Torbay & saw a 1st winter MEDITERRANEAN GULL & 9 TURNSTONE , our next stop was a look at the sea off of Goodrington Sands where a BLACK NECKED GREBE slipped on to the year list & we also saw another one at Broadsands along with 11 RAZORBILL .
Later on in the day I went to the Mamhead area where I saw a BRAMBLING & a SISKIN in with a large flock of GREENFINCH & CHAFFINCH .
