Drove to Countess Weir in Exeter. Another cold morning, really starting to feel like winter.

Made my way around SWW works to the Sludge beds. Saw blue, great and long tailed tits. I looked through the gulls but nothing out of the ordinary.

I wandered around the sludge beds not seeing much from the blinding low sun. I came to the walk way by he pylon and saw a robin feeding on the ground but some thing else was there too, skulking through the mud and leaf litter, a Water Rail. I had really great views of this hard to see bird, made my day.

I continued around and found 2 chiffs chasing each other! Also gs woodpecker and Kingfisher flying across the marsh.
