Ruff And Mediterranean Gull

Bowling Green Marsh, Topsham, Devon 

I had to pop the Exeter for a check up on my back issues so I thought I would pop in to have a lightening look from the hide. The Ruff was asleep towards the back but a Mediterranean Gull was a bit more showy in front of the hide.

Western Yellow Wagtail

Orcombe Point, Exmouth, Devon 

I had a quick lunchtime jaunt around ans it was a bit quiet apart from 5 Western Yellow Wagtail that were with the cows near the coastal path before flying in land due to it being rather busy up there. 

Back out again

Black Hole Marsh, Seaton, Devon 

I haven't done much birding over the last month due to severve back and shoulder issues that I need an operation on. But today I felt mobile enough to get out so I opted for this site as its nice and flat and easy. There wasn't anything to talk about from the island hide apart from a fly through Eurasian Sparrowhawk. However, the tower hide was a bit more productive with numerous Common Ringed Plover, a single Green Sandpiper, 2 Little Grebe and a sleepy Common Greenshank.
