Today was quite productive with the following birds seen on Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham , 41 LITTLE EGRET , numerous BLACK TAILED GODWIT , CURLEW & REDSHANK , 50+ AVOCET , 10 GREENSHANK , 50+ DUNLIN , 4 CURLEW SANDPIPER , 6 GOLDEN PLOVER , a LITTLE STINT & a RUFF .
In the afternoon Andy Bond , Ken Montandon & myself went to the Meare Heath Reserve in Somerset as there had been a report of a possible Sharp Tailed Sandpiper there but all we saw were 50+ COMMON SNIPE , a GREEN SANDPIPER , a WATER RAIL & a MEDITERRANEAN GULL .
But the highlight for me was photographing Adder for the first time & seeing my first ever Otter in England .
