Reed Warblers, Little Gull


Good to hear two Reed Warblers in the West Lodge reedbed today. I was starting to think I wasn't going to record any in Exmouth this year as they're by no means guaranteed in the autumn.

Off the seafront this morning - a large feeding flock of c1000+ Herring Gulls, 4+ Mediterranean Gulls, c100 Black-headed Gulls, 1 Sandwich Tern and c65 Manx Shearwaters, at least 40 of which joined the feeding gull flock.
Off Mudbank - 1 first-summer Little Gull, 2 Common Terns, 3 Sandwich Terns, 4+ Mediterranean Gulls, c140 Black-headed Gulls, c90 Curlew,  2 Whimbrel, 2 Bar-tailed Godwits, 1 Canada Goose,  2 Mallard and 1 Peregrine. Nearby - 2 Reed Warblers at West Lodge and 2 Spoonbills scoped from the back garden.


Small Copper. My first Hummingbird Hawkmoth of the year was in the garden.
