Plenty of these at BHM plus a few Swallows but not much else On Patch, save the Sandwich Terns off Seaton Hole, so I headed over to Bowling Green RSPB on Saturday to see if I could find something different to photograph. On arrival, I was immediately astonished by the massive swarm of Sand Martins. There were squadrons zooming about all over the place, I would estimate 500 in the area. If the same was the case for the other Exe estuary sites, there must have been thousands! On the Axe, we're struggling to get dribs and drabs of them just now. From the hide, several Shoveler were visible but I pressed on to the platform as the tide was out. I immediately noticed this fella lurking among the Redshanks...

Nice to catch him before he leaves. There were also 7 Greenshanks but a bit far away for photos. In case you want to see a picture of one, here's an old shot from 2014...

Not a bad afternoon, but let's hope things pick up on Patch, eh?
