Another visit to Bowling Green Marsh, , over high tide and the mud was full of , , (mostly Black-tailed but a couple of Bar-tailed for good measure), , , and three Kingfisher. The evening sun made for good light along with a pleasant group of people in the hide.

22/7: Around the Exe estuary in Winter, we see a fair number of knot so it was good to see one with a bit of its summer plumage intact. In fact, today was the first time this summer that I've seen so many waders on the reserve. A sign, perhaps, that the season is turning already. Alongside the Knot, you can see , and

An early morning visit to Bowling Green Marsh, Devon to see what the high tide might bring. The sun was barely up and no one else was around. Peaceful.

I've a pet project at moment wrt nos.

Watching their 'Temporary Feeding Territories'.

Not often forming on ebbs as more inclined to follow tide, from low tide onwards birds hold and defend small areas of mudflat, many close to shore. Shadowing neighbours along invisible boundaries, chasing off incomers, all great fun to watch.

(Project is whens/hows/whys of variable Redshank counts on in winter. Keeping me busy/happy!)
