I had to go down to Exeter for an appointment this afternoon, so when I was all done I popped down to Topsham for a visit to Bowling Green Marsh RSPB, the first time I'd been to this reserve for a couple of years. Unfortunately, my timing was off as it was low tide so there were not many birds present, especially with regard to waders (I was hoping that the Long-billed Dowitcher would be present...it wasn't!).However, it was a nice visit and I did have good views of four very sleepy Spoonbills.
On the pool a lone female Scaup was actively diving and was much more active than the Tufted Ducks that were also present. There wasn't much else of note, all routine fair really but nice to visit somewhere different.
