Plymouth.

On the Tamar estuary from Ernesettle the Teal count has risen to one hundred and sixty. Surprisingly few Wigeon though, barely twenty.
Fifteen Black tailed Godwits were counted including one ringed bird (no details yet).
I havn't seen any Avocet here this year, hopfully they're tucked away on the Cornwall side at Landulph.
Around the sewage works around thirty Redwing and a few Blackbirds were seen.

Elsewhere quiet, no sign of the GND at Devils Point, but the Brambling re-appeared in my garden.
