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

📷 #Kingfisher (a male I think as I couldn't see any red on the bill).

Bowling Green Marsh near #Exeter #Devon
It's a wader parade! There's at least one #Whimbrel amongst the #Curlew with a number of #Redshank at the end. The turn of the year!

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.

It was a beautiful, and the birds were good at Ocean Beach yesterday.
Large flocks of sandpipers and whimbrels were roaming and hunting in the surf. The mole crabs seemed plentiful.

Always nice to bump into one of the wintering #Whimbrel on the #Medway estuary.
We often think of our local overwinterers as returning year after year, but this one clearly in partial-moult (coverts dropped, flight feathers unchanged plus only a faint crown-stripe), indicative of a first-winter bird.
Instead of traveling to w Africa, swapped the lower Volta for Lower Halstow.
