Topsham Birding

This morning I went to the reserve at Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham & on entering the hide I was greeted by this WREN that was flying around inside the hide , so I managed to catch it & let it go outside with no harm done to it !
On the marsh itself were 100+ DUNLIN , 100+ REDSHANK , 3 GREENSHANK , 3 WHIMBREL , a 1st summer MEDITERRANEAN GULL & 4 CHIFFCHAFF .
I then walked down to the viewing platform that looks out over the Clyst Estuary where I saw a SPOONBILL & 10 LITTLE EGRET .
