Hope's Nose, S Devon this AM. I did not expect to find my first site Cetti's Warbler at the bottom of the first slope! Perhaps the first record here for several decades? 🤔 Mobile and vocal - it showed briefly on half a dozen occasions. #UKBirding #DevonBirds @backwardbirder.bsky.social #birds

Potter around Otter NR this morning actually was quite chilly & odd spot of rain. 4 spoonbill on big marsh was best of it with these 2 havin a spoon on spoon squabble. Wigeon & teal numbers building up now. Also saw 22 cattle egret and 20 stock dove. #UKBirding #Devonbirds.

The stubble fields & hedgerows at the RSPB reserve at Labrador Bay offered us a ratio of 3:1 for Cirl Buntings & Vestals ~ over 30 of the former, often showing really well, and a minimum 11 of the latter. Great seeing these autumn flocks of Cirls 👌

Popped over seaton wetlands this morning to see if wryneck was still about but no sign. No osprey= no osprey hunters so could get into tower hide 😲 for a change but was quiet from there, island hide was great for reflections & had nice close up of these 2 Curlew sandpipers. #UKBirding #Devonbirds.
