Barnstaple area

No sign of Andy's Avocet at Bishop's Tawton this afternoon in poor weather, but a female Goldeneye on the river there.

At Newbridge 28 Swans in the fields with 114 Curlew and a Black Swan.

At the Bradiford reserve still several Gadwall, good numbers of Wigeon and at least 200 Teal in the reserve, with a lone Black-tailed Godwit.

Out on the river, couldn't find the female Smew, but a big flock of Canada Geese with the Brents. A few Bar-tailed Godwits.
