This morning I was up very early to look for the Semipalmated/Western Sandpiper that has been seen on the Exe Estuary & I found it at 6.15 am on rocks below the Turf Hotel with around 30+ DUNLIN & managed to get a couple of shots of it just before a biker flushed them to the other side of the estuary .
Later in the day I went up to Challacombe Farm on Dartmoor & saw a GARDEN WARBLER , a NUTHATCH , a REDSTART was singing & close by there was a female WHINCHAT , the next stop was at Sousens Down where there was a male & female REDSTART showing well , 3 CUCKOO , a GREEN WOODPECKER & 2 more WHINCHAT .
