Wednesday 4th December

The reappearance of the Dusky Warbler was a surprise, again around the scrub between the Crazy Golf and Railway footbridge. It showed well for ten minutes around 10.30 before again disappearing with no further sign.

Elsewhere a Great Northern Diver and four Eider were offshore, with 920 Oystercatcher, 88 Bar-tailed Godwit, 22 Sanderling and 10 Ringed Plover in the estuary.

Ringing News: Fourteen Exe colour-ringed Dunlin were recorded including two new birds for the winter. 

Other Wildlife: A new fungus species for the Recording Area was found whilst dipping the warbler, Spilopodia nervisequia darkening the veins on Ribwort Plantain.
