Exe Estuary

The Black-necked Grebe and Slavonian Grebe were together at high water off Starcross. Also there was a party of 14 Greenshanks feeding together - a nice sight. Elswhere on the west side of the Exe 2 Swallows at Powderham and a report of a Red-breasted Goose on Exminster marshes (not confirmed). Almost 30% of the Brent Geese counted were juvs - suggesting best breeding success for years.
