On a wonderfully bright, crisp spring morning there was once again very little of note around Newton Abbot Racecourse and Hackney Marshes, so I spent more time exploring an area just to the north of nearby Jetty Marsh, behind the hospital. Largely inaccessible and obscured by vegetation is a pool of water, possibly a former clay pit, surrounded by wet woodland and reedbeds that doesn't appear to have a title on any maps, so I named it Jetty Marsh Pool. Apart from a pair of
Coots, 2
Mute Swans and 3
Teal there was little to see today but it does have potential for warblers and other waterfowl.
Jetty Marsh Pool
Seawatching from Teignmouth from 16:45-17:45 this afternoon was reasonably productive with two
Sandwich Terns, a
Red-throated Diver, a
Great Crested Grebe, 5
Razorbills, 8
Guillemots and the first 7
Manx Shearwaters of the year.
