Red-necked Grebe


 The Siberian Chiffchaff is still frequenting hedges along Gore Lane.

Withycombe brook from Highland Cars - the Yellow-browed Warbler briefly at 0850. Also - the female Blackcap, 1 Chiffchaff, 1 Kingfisher, 1 Redshank and 1 Grey Wagtail.
Orcombe Point - 1 Siberian Chiffchaff, 2 Chiffchaffs, 1 Siskin over, 1 Jay, 1 Little Egret, 16+ Skylarks, 6+ Meadow Pipits, c30 Pied Wagtails and the Red-legged Partridge.
A late afternoon trip out on the bike was rewarded with a Red-necked Grebe off Shelly Beach. It was never close and I only had my bins with me. I'm hoping it'll stick around. The last one I had off there turned up on the 27/1/20. The only other snippet today - 95+ Shelduck off Mudbank.


Exmouth's only Red-legged Partridge scuttles up the side of its favourite field.


Spot the YBW! Back in its Laurel briefly this morning but saying it didn't show very well is a massive understatement!


Red-necked Grebe - Shelly Beach. Unfortunately always distant and harsh lighting. Not much joy with photography today!
