Black-winged Stilt

Black Hole Marsh, Seaton, Devon 

News broke very suddenly of a Black-winged Stilt on site. Having the afternoon to myself and about to head out locally, I decided a change of plan was in order. I first saw the bird (a Female) from the viewing platform but moved on to the tower hide as that's were it was hanging around. To say the bird was showy is an understatement. I enjoyed the views for a while with some other admirers and it was nice to meet some familiar faces and to put some faces to names. I then moved on and on the path back was a Common Reed Bunting. Oddly my first I'd the year. A cracking record for the site indeed.

I had a flying visit to look for the reported Lesser Yellowlegs and got straight on to the bird from Lime kiln car park. This site is certainly starting to deliver when several great species already visiting the site this year. I can't wait to see what else drops in the future
