Darts Farm, Exeter - 14/04/2012

A quick visit to Darts Farm's new wetland area and screen hide gave a couple of chances for some nice shots this morning, with good numbers of Goldfinch and Reed Bunting in the area.




A couple of Curlews flew by calling as they went, but also present were several Canada Geese, a pair of Teal, several pairs of Mallards, flock of 13 Woodpigeons, and plenty of Gulls. A buzzard soared over briefly, and a Green Woodpecker yaffled in the distance near the wooded area on the hill. A Spoonbill has been sighted there recently, a first for the site.


Suspected Blackcap glimpsed briefly in the garden, a Goldcrest as we ate pizza for lunch, and plenty of these little guys! All washed down with a bottle of Somerset's finest Golden Seahawk.
