Yesterday evening on the Otter Estuary NR, East Devon. Ten Great Egrets at dusk were a surprise and likely a Devon record count….

Lovely few hours at @rspb.bsky.social #bowlinggreenmarsh, still not much water, but more than a week ago it seems. A good few Grey Plovers, loads of Curlews and Black- and Bar-Tailed Godwits, some rather drab Pintails, but the star was the Green Sandpiper #devonbirds #wildeastdevon

An enjoyable day out in Devon's #SouthHams was topped off at #SlaptonLey this PM. @devonshirenature.bsky.social's #SnowBunting was typically confiding along the Ley's edge, south of the Memorial Car Park. Footage taken from a respectful distance using a telescope. #UKBirding #Birds #DevonBirds

Good to find a jack snipe early this morning at little marsh otter nr. Wouldn't of seen it without the help of a green sandpiper that caught my eye while watching the geese. Got some poor video footage of it though made worse by stabilizing it & cutting down the time. #UKBirding #Devonbirds.
