An early start this morning for a trip down to South Devon for a reported COMMON CRANE that has been seen in fields beside the A379 near Modbury & after looking in the fields all along the main road for quite a while I finally connected with the bird & got good views of it , also in the area was a GREYLAG GOOSE & 2 JAY .
On the way back home I stopped to look at the River Dart at the Kilbury Bridge but all I could see were 2 GREY WAGTAIL , & the last stop of the day was at the Exminster Marshes in hope of a Short Eared Owl being around ! but I was out of luck but did see a nice Male PEREGRINE FALCAN sat on one of the posts .
