Black Hole Marsh Semi-palmated Sandpiper
As hoped for, a few shots of the BHM Semi-p from Brian Palmer. The bird was never really close enough, and these are highly cropped.
And, just for variety, a Greenshank...

Black Hole Marsh
A juvenile Semipalmated Sandpiper was a major prize today, in company with a Curlew Sandpiper and 15+ Dunlin.
Black Hole Marsh was completely cleared out by an overflying microlight this evening, and the small waders flew off downriver. Hopefully that's not the last of it though...
In the absence of anything better, here are a few ropey shots of the Semi-p, but there will probably be some much better photos presently.

About 11.00 on the main marsh - 1 green sandpiper flew from Powderham marshes onto the lagoon. A flock of 20 green finches near the railway was the largest flock for some time. At Turf there were more green finches and c600 starlings. A single common tern (juv) and one yellow wagtail flew over the canal. Elsewhere c3 blackcaps, a flock of 15+ long-tailed tits, 12 meadow pipits and a grey wagtail. A brief burst of song from a Cettis warbler was the first I have heard since the spring.

Exmouth
Having started a new job this week hadn't been able to get out last couple of days but a quick visit down to exmouth seafront this evening was well worth it with good views of the 2 juv Sabine's gulls and the grey phalarope around 18:30 by the lifeboat station mobile though due to the kite surfers and were moving west along the shoreline.

Exminster Marshes
A late afternoon visit just before and during the rain that arrived at 5.00pm. Initially there seemed to be lots of birds about with chiffchaffs calling everywhere but in the end I only saw 12. Two flocks of long tailed tits were accompanied by at least 3 blackcaps. A single sedge warbler was seen in the canal side vegetation.
On the recently cut fields to the NW of the railway bridge were 11 yellow wagtails, 20+ white wagtails and about 10 pied wagtails. There were also 6 or so meadow pipits.
Over head 31 wigeon flew south and 5 sand martins were with about 20 swallows.
At Turf an adult arctic tern was sitting on drift wood in the channel. Also there were 4 wheatears and a couple more yellow wagtails.
Exmouth
Following Lyndon's discovery of a Sabine's Gull at Mudbank Lane. I ventured down to Shelly Beach to look for it where I met another birder with the same idea who was already watching not one but two Juv. Sabine's Gulls and a Grey Phalarope. The birds were in the surf tide line between the lifeguard hut and the Lifeboat Station.
Start Point
Seawatch 08:00-13:00: 32 Balearic Shearwaters, Sooty Shearwater, 2 Manx Shearwaters, 2 Pomarine Skuas, 16 Bonxies, 16 Arctic Skua, 4 Sandwich Terns, 2 Arctic Terns, 4 Common Terns, 10 'commic' Terns, 5 European Storm-petrels, 66 Razorbills, 20 Guillemots, 200+ Gannets, 85 Kittiwakes.
This cracking photo of a second-summer(?) Pomarine Skua was taken by a Dave Marles while fishing 20 mile off Start on 15/09. Now why don't they come that close when I'm onboard? I'll find out tomorrow!
Sharkham Point
A second seawatch of the day from 1300-1515hrs, this time without sun but reduced viz and at times slight drizzle and an increasing SW wind.
A really great couple of hours started with a day trawler creating a mass feeding frenzy. It tracked around for an hour with masses of birds before it reached Berry Head and the birds then dispersed. All the Storm Petrels and Sooty Shearwaters followed this boat. Later coming back south giving some stunning views. Quality was in the form of an adult Pom Skua with complete tail coming past close.
Totals as follows
EuropeanStorm Petrel 25+ (best count I could manage), Adult pale phase Pomarine Skua (with spoons), 10 Arctic Skua, 13 Great Skua, 12 Balearic Shearwater, 3 Sooty Shearwater, 2 Common Tern, 1 Sandwich Tern, also masses of Gulls, Gannets, and Kitts
It was hectic behind that trawler!
Also nice views of a Bottlenose dolphin passing through.

A seawatch in the sun and very little wind from 0700-1200hrs joined by Bill Macdonald and Dave Lee at 0830 produced the following. As best as I can remember as I seem to have misplaced my notebook!

Bowling Green Marsh
10.30 to 11.30 with Dick Andrews, a rather dull morning at BGM at high tide with an absence of waders exc 2 Green Sandpipers; however, a Curlew Sandpiper was feeding with 7 Redshank on the edges of the River Clyst; also 2 Whimbrel and a lovely flypast from a Kingfisher.
The Wrafton Pond Black Tern
Rob Jutsum took this cracking photo of the Black Tern at Wrafton Pond on Sunday 18th Sept...

11.00am Sabine's Gull. Roost for 5 minutes then continue down to Shelly Beach.
North Coast – Widmouth Head, Sun 18 Sep
Two Leach's Petrels well offshore struggling to fly into the teeth of the NW gale... A few very tired looking Manx Shearwaters also trying hard to get out of the Bristol Channel. Yesterday (19th) an exhausted Guillemot was being hunted by a Great Black-back, which jumped on the auk each time it surfaced from a gull-avoidance dive...

A window of opportunity arose for a brief look at the sea off Sharkham between 1300-1400. Light WSW wind, moderate viz with drizzle at times.
An interesting collection of birds were feeding of a few small fishing boats, 14 Balearic Shearwaters (six behind 1 boat), 1 European Storm petrel, 3 Arctic Skua with 1 pale phase bird harassing a flock of between 70-80 Kittiwakes that were day on the water. 1 Great Skua, 2 Skua sp., and a diver sp.(GND/BTD) All birds except the diver went north after feeding
South Huish Marsh - weeks ago!
These cracking photos were taken by Richard Stafford at South Huish Marsh on the 26/08/11. I know it was a few weeks ago now, but they show a Curlew Sandpiper and Ruff so well that I just had to post them up on here...

22 Black-tailed Godwits, 44 Dunlin, 4 Bar-tailed Godwits, 17 Ringed Plover, 1 Wheatear, 52 Canada Geese (an unwelcome record count for me), 3 Greenshank, 2 Common Sandpipers, 1 Green Sandpiper, 1 Curlew Sandpiper, 1 Little Stint, 1 Whimbrel, 4 Lapwing, 1 Ruff. Lots of hirundines spread up the valley.
Plenty of company there for a nice rare wader I thought...but not today.

Very 'samey' at the moment. Seawatch (7.15 - 9.15), 350 Gannets, 1 Manx, 34 Balearic Shearwaters, 7 Common Scoters and a Sandwich Tern. (Not a Skua in sight!). Elsewhere, 1 Grey and 10 Yellow Wagtails, 10 Wheatears, Spotted Flycatcher, 11 Blackcaps, Whitethroat, Willow Warbler and 21 Chiffchaffs. Overhead, the first Siskins of the autumn, (34 west), a young Kestrel off out to sea, and a steady day-long westerly movement of Hirundines. Swallows dominated, conservatively estimated at c.2500, with about 1000 House Martins. 12 Sand Martins were noted during random watches, so presumably many more also passed through.
Exmouth
Hirundines streaming west over Exmouth all day today. A walk with the dog up on the common produced many more also heading west. Won't attempt to estimate numbers. Also a marked increase in wildfowl numbers off Mudbank this morning.
