Whimbrel - Mudbank. One of two this morning.
Orcombe was again really quiet this morning - just the 2 immature male Eiders and a couple Blackcaps of note.
Mudbank was better with my first 2 Whimbrels of the year, 4 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 2 Sandwich Terns, 5 Little Egrets, 2 Red Kites and an Osprey. Otherwise today - a single Swallow through West Lodge whilst Lu and I walked the dog.
Yesterday off Mudbank - c250 Oystercatchers, 2 Red-breasted Mergansers, 7 Turnstones, 4 Redshank, 11 Bar-tailed Godwits and 3 Dark-bellied Brent Geese.
Orcombe - the 2 immature drake Eiders, 1 Willow Warbler, 1 Swallow and 2+ White Wagtails.
A quick look along Courtlands Lane (which is officially Lympstone, not Exmouth) revealed a flock of at least 70 Linnets in stubble fields, and at least 3 Willow Warblers.
The first Red Kite flew upriver just before 9am. Seen from the back garden.
The second Red Kite came across the river and continued east shortly after 1115.
At least 2, probably 3, White Wagtails are still knocking around the dung heap. This one photographed yesterday.
Bloxworth Snout. This first materialised in our dining room a couple nights ago but managed to evade capture. It appeared again last night and I was able to catch it and photograph it.
