Haldon Forest

This afternoon I made a trip up to the Haldon Forest on the edge of Exeter to look for Butterfly & managed to see 6 Pearl-Bordered Fritillary , 2 Brimstone & 2 Small White , also seen was a JAY , a CHIFFCHAFF & a BLACKCAP , 6 Fallow Deer & 2 Large Red Damselfly .
I then went & had a look at the Clyst Estuary in Topsham & saw 30+ WHIMBREL & 2 COMMON SANDPIPER & a look at the Exe Estuary then got me 100+ DUNLIN & distant views of the bird that is either a SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER or a WESTERN SANDPIPER & as there was good photo`s taken of it yesterday lets hope it is sorted out sooner than later .
