An early morning look at Bowling Green Marsh in Topsham only got me 5 WHIMBREL & a single LITTLE EGRET so I went over to the Exminster Marshes for a quick look where there was 6 REED WARBLER , 3 SEDGE WARBLER & 10-15 SWIFT were feeding over the marsh .
Later in the day I had a call telling me that there was a SUBALPINE WARBLER of the eastern race at Portland Bill in Dorset so me & Ken Montandon went up to see if we could catch up with it & when we got there a small crowd was watching it & soon enough we were getting good views of this little gem ! that was flying from bush to bush & showing very well .
Also seen around the bill were 2 WHEATEAR . a WHITETHROAT & a LITTLE OWL that was sat in the quarry .
