Our first Exe Estuary osprey was seen at powderham park last Sunday and this week has seen a full summer plumage spotted redshank on Bowling green marsh 23erd 24th June
Other migrant waders returning include Green Sandpipers at Exminster (1 on the 23erd and 24th) and two at BGM (24th). You will also see an increase in redshank on the high tide roost in coming weeks.
The BGM High tide gull roost is quite a spectacle at present and has contained up to 10 Med Gulls with small numbers of sandwich terns.
A Reeling Grasshopper Warbler can still be heard from the Lagoon viewing platform at Exminster marshes (24th) while at Darts Farm the oystercatchers have final hatched so our 32 year old male is still going strong.
