This evening I heard news of a BONAPARTE`S GULL on the Exe/Clyst estuary & I ended up getting distant views of the bird from the viewing platform overlooking the Clyst Estuary at the Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham .
A trip up to the Haldon Forest near Exeter then got me my first NIGHTJAR of the year with four being seen , two TAWNY OWL were calling from deep in the forest & two Roe Deer came out into view before dashing off back into the forest again .
