Yellow-Browed Warbler

This morning I went for a look at Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham & saw 100+ AVOCET , a SPOTTED REDSHANK , my first GREENSHANK for the year , numerous BLACK TAILED GODWIT & DUNLIN & a SPARROWHAWK .
I then met up with Brian Heasman & we went off to Plymouth to look for the reported YELLOW BROWED WARBLER in Central Park & after a short while we were soon looking at the bird , also seen was an Adult Winter MEDITERRANEAN GULL .
We then had a look at the Plym Estuary in hope of seeing the Bonaparte`s Gull that was seen at the weekend but we were out of luck ! so we went to the Cattedown area of Plymouth & saw 2 GREAT NORTHERN DIVER & a COMMON SANDPIPER .
