Colyton Update 07/02/17

I've had a stinking cold for 5 days now so have felt less motivated to keep birding every day. Having said that, I've ventured down to Colyton Allotments where one of the Cattle Egrets was with the cows there and not with the other 3 at Colcombe. On Friday there were 2 adult Med Gulls at Colcombe but today only one was visible. A large flock of Redwing is still in that area but ranges around a lot. On Sunday, I cycled all the way to Tritchayne area and there were lots of passerines about but nothing unusual. I hope that Tower hide is being utilised in my absence as this is probably the longest I've gone without visiting it for 5 years!
