An early morning call this morning soon had me at Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham looking at 3 male & a female GARGANEY & it was great to see these stunning little ducks again , there was also still over a 100 ( Eurasian ) WIGEON still on the marsh along with a single LITTLE EGRET .
Later in the day I stopped at the bridge in Sidford & saw a ( White Throated ) DIPPER & it is the first time that I have seen one of these birds at this site , the next stop was at the Clyst Estuary & a SPOTTED REDSHANK & a GREENSHANK showed very well !!
