Peregrine eating its fresh kill - the prey was probably a Lapwing. The fastest animal on the planet sees off 2 Carrion Crow, finishes its Sunday lunch and then flies off. #Nature #Wildlife #BowlingGreenMarsh #Peregrine #UKBirding #Birds #Devon #Exeter #BirdsOfMastodon
This Snipe was easy to see (despite others in the hide who just couldn't get on it). #BowlingGreenMarsh #UKBirding #Birds #Devon #Snipe #wildlife #nature #BirdsofMastodon
A visit to Bowling Green Marsh just after High Tide this morning; highlights were 150+ Avocet, Ruff, Spotted Redshank & Greater Scaup.
I couldnβt find the LB Dowitcher (incompetence?) nor take any photos or video (all my batteries were flat)(more incompetence!). #ukbirding #birds #birding #wildlife #nature #Topsham #Exeter #Devon #BowlingGreenMarsh
A pleasant couple of hours spent in Bowling Green Marsh Hide, the air was still and the full sound of Redshank, Black-tailed Godwit and Wigeon could be heard. Three Spotted Redshank, one Ruff and this Marsh Harrier were the highlights.

An high tide visit to Bowling Green Marsh earlier this evening & lots of waders on show.
Can you spot the Curlew Sandpiper amongst the Redshank, Little Egret and Spoonbill? Also on the Marsh a Spotted Redshank so, all in all, good birding.

I met up with a couple of friends for some high tide birding at Bowling Green Marsh reserve (and then some lunch). It was fairly quiet with high water levels (the RSPB seem to be having trouble fixing some sluice gates) but these two immature Spoonbill flew in to roost.

I managed a visit to Bowling Green Marsh to just sit and gawp and be peaceful. Many waders present and it was pleasant just to sit and watch them.
