Gadwall, Sibe Chiff


Three Gadwall off Mudbank. Always a good Exmouth bird.

Mudbank counts - 7 Black-tailed Godwits, 26+ Great Crested Grebes, 7 Red-breasted Mergansers, c195 Pintail, 3 female Gadwall, 2 Pale-bellied Brent Geese, 1 Chiffchaff and 1 Cetti's Warbler.
West Lodge - 2+ Chiffchaffs and a Siberian Chiffchaff.
Only a quick look at the top fields this morning with just 1 Redpoll and 3 Stonechats of any note.


I'm assuming this is the same Siberian Chiffchaff I had just over a week ago. It was in the same bit of hedgerow at West Lodge this afternoon.



Feeding unobtrusively and, compared with 'colybitta' Chiffie, quite sluggishly in a hedge, this Sibe Chiff responded immediately to pishing.
