Cattle Egret

This afternoon I went down to Powderham to look for the 2 CATTLE EGRET that I had been told were there & they were showing in the field with the cows until an electricity helecopter flew over the fields & they flew towards Exminster Marsh , I then had a look around the Kenn/Kenton area for RED-LEGGED PARTRIDGE & I ended up seeing 6 of them .
I then headed home but stopped off at the recreation ground in Topsham for a look & it produced my first COMMON SANDPIPER of the year + a male & 2 female RED-BREASTED MERGANSER & 20+ COMMON GULL .
