Dawlish Warren - Dick Andrews & I went looking for the Surf Scoter (it was there) but got the most pleasant surprise - this male Eider was resting on the sea just off Langstone Rock at lunchtime. It didn't look in any hurry to depart.
Also lots of activity well offshore with a mixed flock of Gannets (100+ at least) and Gulls, with the Gannets giving good diving displays; flock of 20 Common Scoter also present
With apologies for the photo quality.
Exminster Marshes - the lagoon had 32 Gadwall and 3 Pochard in addition to the usuals.
Matford Scrapes - as wet as I've seen them, but with 27 Snipe in and on the various small islands and tufts of grass
