2 More Yearticks

A look at Orcombe Point near Exmouth this morning got me my first GARDEN WARBLER of the year & plenty of Green-Winged Orchid were on show , then a look at the sea got me 8 GANNET , 3 KITTIWAKE , 6 SANDWICH TERN & 30+ COMMON SCOTER .
I then went to the Exminster Marshes where the first SWIFT of the year had come in & 10 birds were seen in with numerous HOUSE MARTIN , SAND MARTIN & SWALLOW , also seen were 1male & 5 female WHEATEAR , 3 REED BUNTING , 4 LITTLE EGRET , 6 SEDGE WARBLER & 17 WHIMBREL flew over .
