3 trips out today and the last(closest to home waas the best)
I went to Topsham this morning. Looked for med gull by the rec but no joy. I did see a common sandpiper in an odd posistion on the river(see photo)

Went to Bowling green, not much there but there were 6 snipe in the open all together.

I then went for a walk along the teign river and found 3 dipper, 2 cirl bunting and 3 buzzard, 1 of which was on the ground in a small park.

Cracking views of little owls today. I watched them for 30 mins just transfixed on them.

I have to say these, i think are my favourite birds i've seen since i've been birding. They are so charismatic and a challange to see. They are not the rarest of birds, by no means the prettiest, there just something about them.

The video is off my mobile so please forgive the quality. It is a new thing i'm trying.

Popped into cardew ponds(by the pottery) to see if the red crested polchard was around, it was.

drove to countess wier to find the falcated duck, it was there too.

then walked to riverside to see if i could find jack snipe, with no luck!
