Happy New Year

Out yearticking today around the Exe Estuary in Devon but there wasn`t a lot to be seen !!! , my first stop of the day was at the Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham where there were the usual winter birds showing with the best being a some nice PINTAIL , WIGEON , BAR-TAILED GODWIT & a SPOTTED REDSHANK , I then had a look at the Clyst Estuary & saw 2 LITTLE GREBE & a MEDITERRANEAN GULL .
A look around the Exmouth area then got me a GREY WAGTAIL , 4 RED-BREASTED MERGANSER , 2 GOLDENEYE & this RED-NECKED GREBE that I caught up with late in the day hence the photograph .
