Seafront Sightings

I didn't look for the Colyton Cattle Egret today (last seen Friday 13th) or yesterday as I visited Tower hide on Sunday having neglected it for a week or two. A couple of adult Med Gulls were the most interesting from there. Today (Monday) I saw another adult Med fly across the bay and up the estuary. From Fisherman's Gap 5 Great Crested Grebes were visible, 4 sleeping together and another feeding off Seaton Hole. On Saturday, Cownhayne area was busy with 50 each of Fieldfare and Redwing, 100 Pied Wagtail, 20 Meadow Pipit and 30 Linnet. I also had a likely Siberian Chiffchaff at Colyton WWTW which really stood out from 20 Chiffs by being very pale and greyish with a hint of green in the wings. Didn't hear it call though...
