This LONG-TAILED DUCK took me quite a long time to find this morning off of Cockwood in Shutterton Creek on the Exe Estuary but in the end I walked out onto the mud & ended up getting good views of it .
There were also a few LITTLE EGRET & GREY HERON & 1 Male & 2 Female RED-BREASTED MERGANSER .
Later in the afternoon news came out of a LONG BILLED DOWITCHER on Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham a BGM tick for me !! so I shot off to there with no scope or bins but was lucky enough to scrounge views of this bird though someone else scope ( Thanks Bob ) .
