Martin Bevan, Mike Hogan, Rob Gaze and myself had a trip to North Devon and try and see the long staying Dalmatian Pelican and also the Caspian Tern which had also been seen in the area for the two previous days.
On arriving at Fremington Quay we were met with a line of birders looking out at the estuary. Good sign and sure thing the Pelican was sitting on a far sandbank. Although distant you could really appreciate the size of the bird. Unfortunately there had been no sign of the Caspian Tern. After awhile we decided to try a few other sites along both banks of the estuary to look for the tern and a Wryneck which had also been reported the day before. We drew a blank on both but enjoyed walking in the warm October sunshine.
I nipped down to Kenfig and seen the Baird's Sandpiper found by Neil Donaghy ( cracking find Neil) this afternoon. A lot lighter bird than others I have seen but beautifully marked.
