Bowling Green Marsh

This morning on my local patch Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham there was 10 LITTLE EGRET , 5 LAPWING , 2 RINGED PLOVER , 2 WHIMBREL , a nice adult YELLOW-LEGGED GULL & this MEDITERRANEAN GULL but no sign of the Little Gull seen yesterday .
Later in the day I had a call telling me to get down to the Goats Walk in Topsham as there was a RED KITE flying up the Exe Estuary but when I got there the finder Mat Knott told me it had gone across to the River Clyst area so we went on to B G Marsh to look for it & had it in flight going east !! making it my 3rd BGM Tick this year ( Thanks Mat ) .
