A quick stop at the passage house before work, in the freezing cold found an Avocet really close to the car park. A Greenshank was further upriver. A small flock of waders flew past and landed, turned out to be 17 Dunlin and 7 Redshank, the most Dunlin I have ever seen there. GCG was in the river as were numerous Gulls, Common, Blackheaded, Herring, Lesser and Greater Black Backed.

I started at the warren this morning because yesterday they had a good day down there, which was the exact opposite to today. I did manage 1 Little Gull but it was brief. Red throated Divers were a plenty and the Velvet, Surf and Common Scoter were all present.
But I like to feel my hands and feet so went off to find a missing bird off my list.
I didn't have to go far as right by the road side just off the Exeter to Dawlish rd was this lovely Red legged Partridge. The photo was taken through my car windscreen but it's a record shot!
