Sherpa Marsh, Velator, Braunton.

08:05 - 09:15

I do prefer the old name "Sharper Marsh."

On arrival at 08:05, there were 17 Yellow Wagtails under the feet of the cattle up by the corner barn. By the time I`d walked around the marsh (09:15) there were only 6 or 7 remaining.

2 Grey Wagtails; 2 Pied Wagtails; c70 Mallard; 6 Little Grebe; 2 Little Egret; 13 Mute Swan;
1 Common Sandpiper and 4 Teal. Uncounted Coot and Moorhen.
