That good news Sue.sooseee said:Roy, I made it down to Isley Marsh just as the sun was setting and three spoonbills were just coming in to land by three more, so at least six are still about.

Went to Wistlandpound Yesterday (Thursday) update to Andrews post:Andrew said:RBA reported that two female Scaups were on Wistlandpound Reservoir yesterday so I went up for a look.
No sign unfortunately. About eight or nine Tufted Ducks and a single drake Mandarin Duck. 150+ Redwings flew over too.
The reservoir is used by an activity centre for boating stuff so they may have been flushed off this morning.
Hopefully it will not be too long before the next ones.
looks like we're in for an influx of birders from up country this weekend at the warren!The Firecrest said:It's all happening in Rare Bird Information. A Murrelet, probably a Long-billed has turned up at Dawlish Warren!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get there now!!!!

i think it's long gone. if it did go towards berry head i'm sure someone might have picked it up. gonna hve to get down early tomorrow cos it's going to be packed.kmonty1950 said:Last seen drifting towards Dawlish (away from the Warren). I shall be giving Dawlish itself more than a cursory glance after I leave work tomorrow. I've already looked for it around the Teign Estuary!!!
Good birding
Ken.

There are some grains of sand in it with spots on them.
Elusive little things!
