My mate Andy phoned me early this morning with the amazing news of a male LITTLE CRAKE over on the Exminster Marshes , so I got there as fast as I could from Topsham & was rewarded with stunning views of the bird right out in the open , I am not sure but I think its only the second time one of these has been seen in Devon with the other seen on Lundy Island !
Also seen on the marshes were 20+ SAND MARTIN , a WILLOW WARBLER , a CETTI`S WARBLER & a male REED BUNTING .
A look at the Matford Marshes on the way home got me a WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE in with some GREYLAG GOOSE & 3 GREEN SANDPIPER .
