DAWLISH WARREN

This morning off I went to Dawlish Warren to see what was about & the first bird of note was a fly over GREAT SPOTTED WOODPECKER , then in the Greenland Lake area there were 4 NORTHERN WHEATEAR on show .
I then went further along to the bight to look at the waders & I saw numerous DUNLIN & RINGED PLOVER , 60+ RED KNOT , 300+ OYSTERCATCHER , 4 TURNSTONE , & single CURLEW SANDPIPER , WHIMBREL , SANDERLING & BAR-TAILED GODWIT .
Also seen were 20+ SANDWICH TERN , 1 COMMON TERN & a female PEREGRINE FALCON .
