Exmouth







Exmouth Beach - 0600 - a nice classic juv yellow-legged gull on the beach near the lifeboat station this morning.

Mudbank (am) - 3+ med gull, 1+ common gull, 2+ whimbrel, 1 bar-tailed godwit and 7 sand martin through.

Orcombe Point - late pm - an early yellow wagtail purposefully east over the 'dung' field at 1940 - particularly pleasing because I failed to get a single spring bird this year!

Mudbank - (pm) - 126+ sandwich tern, 6 common tern, 2 redshank, 3 common gull, 7 med gull.
