Despite the apparent suitability of the habitat, Goosanders are highly infrequent at Rackerhayes so the presence of three redheads this morning was noteworthy. Other waterfowl included 17 Tufted Ducks, six Great Crested Grebes, three Mandarins, one Shoveler and the usual Bar-headed Goose.

Three Egyptian Geese, the first on patch since February 2024, flew south past Teignmouth early morning, around 10-12 minutes after they had flown past Dawlish Warren from further east. Also offshore still at least two 2CY Little Gull and a Great Northern Diver.
Signs of spring over recent nights with Little Grebe and Moorhen calling over Teignmouth.
