My search for a local patch continues and until I find one my birding forays will remain rather erratic to say the least. Still, spending the new year at good friends Jaffa and Helen down in Devon meant a wander around Jaffa's fantastic local patch at the Otter Estuary (photo below). Things were pretty slow, hindered further by the hoards of 'Jo' milling about, but 400 Wigeon was a good site count along with 7 Black-tailed Godwit, a Bar-tailed Godwit, 2 Dunlin, a male Gadwall and a female Goosander. On the sea there was a Great Northern Diver and a fairly decent movement of Red-throated Divers.
