Exminster Marsh

A quiet walk with lots to see. Fewer thrushes flying north but still at least 100 Fieldfares and 200 Redwings. Also 12 Skylarks. On the ground both a Water Rail and Cettis Warbler gave prolonged views. The hundreds of Teal and Wigeon on the shallow floods ignored a female Peregrine sitting close to them recovering from eating a recent kill. No sign of the Glossy Ibis and I speculate that the bird has moved to the Otter where two were seen yesterday. Also the 3 Water Pipits seen close to the lane yesterday were not so obliging today.
